A RuleOnAttribute attribute placed on the class indicates what type of object the rule works on and when the rule should fire, either inline, local transaction commit, or top level transaction commit.
The rule is triggered when the value is actually different from the previous value. It is not triggered if the property is set to its current value.
This type of rule does not apply to the properties that are generated from relationships. To respond to a change in a relationship, define Add and Delete rules on the domain relationship.
