Hi Samisa,

This was a misunderstanding. There are couple of e-mails on the same, :). I
read the issue list first and resolved them, since the issue itself did not
have any explanation. But I understood what you were expecting going
through the e-mails. I already mentioned this on the other thread, "Why not
promote verify the checklist in LC?" and the two issues are already
reopened and I have added descriptions. However, some issues reported are
actually duplicates, and I have referred to those and resolved.

There is a sample on using forEvent for validation (
http://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/Governance450/Issue+Tracker+Sample), but
this is not linked to the configuration model document - that's a miss - I
agree. And, we need samples on using forEvent for checkitems, and even more
samples on various aspects. Will work on reporting the missing bits.

Thanks,
Senaka.
