Modification of Event Properties
Use
This function describes how to modify an event created by BusinessEventTealeafCapturer, before it gets published to the TeaLeaf server. For every business event there is a method defined in BusinessEventTealeafCapturer, which gets called when the application raises the event. This method calls another method prefixed with set to set the properties inside the raised event. You can extend the set method to add new properties, edit or delete existing properties. Please refer to the javadoc, to find which methods can be extended and what properties are set inside the event.
The name BusinessEventTealeafCapturer, is a misnomer. This class is can be used for Web Event Capture with both DB Capturer and TeaLeaf.
Activities

protected void setCustomer(CapturerEvent event,
User user,
Address address,
BusinessObjectManager bom) {
event.setProperty("Customer", "CustomerID", customizeUserDetermination( user)); //modifying existing property
