Notify a service to update a work item, based on event.
I have a parent work item and its children work items. Is it possible to have a way of notifying a service to update the parent based on a change in a (custom) attribute or the state of one of its children?
I have been looking at IChangeEventService, IFeedService, IWorkItemListener
and

One answer
Okay let me rephrase my question ...
1. When a work item gets created, can I call/notify a service?
2. When a work item changes state, can I call/notify a service?
It seems one way to implement this would be to create a task that extends AbstractAutoScheduledTask and queries for certain change events when it is periodically run by the server. I think of this as polling.
3. Is there another way where the work item is observed by the service and does a callback when it changes state?
4. If not, can someone point me in the right direction for setting up and running a simple auto-task? I read the QueryDevGuide and saw the ReminderTask but I haven't figured out how to run it.
