• elements < 1: order by timestamp
• elements > 0: order by timestamp limit elements

Parameters:

classId - the id of the desired class

objectId - the id of the object of the desired class

domain - the name of the domain the desired class belongs to

user - the user that requests the history

elements - the number of historic elements to be retrieved or an int < 1 to retrieve all available elements

context - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

the historic objects

Throws:

RemoteException - if any error occurs
