java.lang.Object
- org.axonframework.serialization.upcasting.event.InitialEventRepresentation

All Implemented Interfaces:

IntermediateEventRepresentation
```
public class InitialEventRepresentation
extends Object
implements IntermediateEventRepresentation
```
Implementation of an IntermediateEventRepresentation that contains the original serialized payload and metadata before these have been upcast. Usually there is one InitialEventRepresentation per event entry from the data store.

public InitialEventRepresentation(EventData<?> eventData,
                                  Serializer serializer)
```
    Initializes an InitialEventRepresentation from the given eventData. The provided serializer is used to deserialize metadata if the metadata is required during upcasting. The serializer also provides the Converter used to convert serialized data from one format to another if required by any upcaster.
    
    Parameters:
    
    eventData - the serialized event data
    
    serializer - the serializer to deserialize metadata and provide the converter factory
