[xwiki-devs] Using an event Listener to modify object variables
Hello, I am pretty new to Xwiki and Groovy/Velocity, but made a bit of progress in what I want to do with it. however I can't find the information I need to move onto the last step so i can start using it. I have a page which includes an object, which has a static list of states. Upon saving the page I want to update that object to a different state. I have gone through the tutorial of the creating an event listener in Groovy, and have a basic event listener at the moment. what I am not quite understanding is how I can use that event listener to access the static list and change it to another state upon saving. I couldn't really find any documentation about what I am trying to do, but please point me in the right direction if I am wrong! I am assuming I will need to do some extra code as by changing the variable, I will need to save the document again. Thanks very much in advance. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Using-an-event-Listener-to-modify-object-v...

Have you seen http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Title+Post+Processing+U... or http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Create+Object+with+Cont... ? It's a good thing to search for code snippets on http://extensions.xwiki.org . Hope this helps, Marius

Thanks very much for those! I hadn't realised they were what I was looking for (I had found the tile post processing one before, but not the other one). I went away from the event listener and worked on a few other bits I had to get done. I will go give them another read now. Just to make sure I am understanding this all correctly, and apologises for these probably basic questions, I am assuming that to use the event listener I am going to need a scheduler (like the IRC bot demo code) so that it starts up automatically. I am also assuming I don't need to do anything to the page in question to trigger the event listener (other than save it!). Thanks again.

Yes, but if you're brave enough you can implement the event listener as a wiki component ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WikiComponent+Module ) which will be registered automatically (even after a server restart) without the need of a scheduler job.
I am also assuming I don't need to do anything to the page in question to trigger the event listener (other than save it!).
Yes, once the event listener is registered, each page save will trigger it. Hope this helps, Marius
Thanks again.
