Lifecycle of entity records

In Kodall the entity's life cycle has the following stages Insert, Update and Delete. Each stage is divided into three phases Before, After and Complete.

The Kodall event system is responsible for routing events to consumers. An event is triggered for each phase of each stage, the event name is a concatenation of the phase and stage, as follows:

Phase	Blocking behavior	Insert	Update	Delete
Before	Blocking	OnBeforeInsert	OnBeforeUpdate	OnBeforeDelete
After	Blocking	OnAfterInsert	OnAfterUpdate	OnAfterDelete
Complete	Non-blocking	OnCompleteInsert	OnCompleteUpdate	OnCompleteDelete

Overview

Security

The security is based on privileges granted on entities tied to a part of the organisation (the scope of the grant). Privileges can only be granted on roles and then users are mapped to one or many roles.
