| 6 | |||
| 7 | This tutorial uses the old notification mechanism to listen to events (now deprecated in XWiki 2.0). You should follow it if you're using a version of XWiki prior to 2.0. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | In order to listen to events you need to write 2 pages: | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | * A page containing a Groovy class that registers against the XWiki Event Manager and that has the method to be called when the event happens. | ||
| 12 | * Another page that parses the Groovy page and loads it in the Groovy context. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | = Groovy Notification Class = | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | Your Groovy needs to extend the ##com.xpn.xwiki.notify.XWikiDocChangeNotificationInterface## as shown below. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | {{code language="java"}} | ||
| 19 | /* Groovy Class #* */ | ||

| 23 | import com.xpn.xwiki.*; | ||
| 24 | import com.xpn.xwiki.doc.*; | ||

| 26 | public class MyGroovyClass implements XWikiDocChangeNotificationInterface | ||
| 27 | { | ||
| 28 | def xwiki; | ||
| 29 | def rule; | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | public MyGroovyClass() | ||
| 32 | { | ||
| 33 | this.rule = new DocChangeRule(this); | ||
| 34 | } | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | public void init(xwiki) | ||
| 37 | { | ||
| 38 | this.xwiki = xwiki; | ||
| 39 | xwiki.getXWiki().getNotificationManager().addGeneralRule(this.rule); | ||
| 40 | } | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | public void cleanup() | ||
| 43 | { | ||
| 44 | xwiki.getXWiki().getNotificationManager().removeGeneralRule(this.rule); | ||
| 45 | } | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | public void notify(XWikiNotificationRule rule, XWikiDocument newdoc, XWikiDocument olddoc, | ||
| 48 | int event, XWikiContext context) | ||
| 49 | { | ||
| 50 | // Do some action here. | ||
| 51 | } | ||
| 52 | } | ||

| 56 | |||
| 57 | In this example we've used a ##DocChangeRule## rule. There are also {{scm path="xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-legacy/xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/notify"}}other rules{{/scm}}. | ||

| 67 | |||
| 68 | {{warning}} | ||
| 69 | The code below uses the parseGroovyFromPage method which takes 2 parameters. The second one is the name of page containing JARS as attachments. These JARs are put in the classloader used by Groovy when parsing the page. This feature is only working in XWiki Core 1.3 and later. | ||
