3.5.2. Registering your listeners

Registering the listeners is then achieved by using the ExoContainer plugin mechanism. Learn more about it on the Service Configuration for Beginners article.

To effectively register organization service's listeners you simply need to use the addListenerPlugin seer injector.

So, the easiest way to register your listeners is to pack them into a .jar and create a configuration file into it under mylisteners.jar!/conf/portal/configuration.xml


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<configuration>

 <external-component-plugins>

  <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.organization.OrganizationService</target-component>

   <component-plugin>

    <name>myuserplugin</name>

    <set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>

    <type>org.example.MyUserListener</type>

    <description></description>      

   </component-plugin>

   <component-plugin>

    <name>mygroupplugin</name>

    <set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>

    <type>org.example.MyGroupListener</type>

    <description></description>      

   </component-plugin>

   <component-plugin>

    <name>mymembershipplugin</name>

    <set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>

    <type>org.example.MyMembershipListener</type>

    <description></description>      

   </component-plugin>

  </external-component-plugins>

<configuration>

Now, simply deploy the jar under $TOMCAT_HOME/lib and your listeners are ready!

Note

Be aware that you need to set proper RuntimePermission to be able to add or remove Listeners. To do that you need to grant the following permission for your code

permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "manageListeners"
