unable to register a ChangeEventHandler

Have you configured your test team's process to use this event handler?
To do this, open your project area and go to the Process Configuration
tab. From there, expand the Team Configuration section and select the
"Event Handling" node. Here you should see your new event and be able to
configure your handler to respond to it.

Hi,

I am trying to issue events and handle them through my
ChangeEventHandler. I have registered both the event and the
eventHandler through extension points as given below. I am able to
raise the events and I can verify it by looking at the event feed for
the registered category. But my changeEventHandler never gets hit.

Is there something wrong in my eventHandlerRegistration? or do I need
to do something more to get it registered?

Thanks and Regards,
Praveen


event categoryId="com.ibm.request.update"
id="com.ibm.request.update"
name="Request update event"
description
Event that gets generated when a request gets updated.
/description
/event


and the ChangeEvent handler

extension

point="com.ibm.team.process.service.eventHandlers"
eventHandler

class="com.ibm.mycomp.service.internal.rest.TestRestService"
eventCategory="com.ibm.request.update"
id="com.ibm.eventhandler.requestUpdateHandler"
name="RequestUpdateHandler"
/eventHandler
/extension

The event handlers you register are not automatically called.

By registering an event handler you make that event handler available
for being used in the process configuration of your project area or the
process customization of its team areas.

Thus, as Jared pointed out, when the process does not configure the
event handler nothing happens.

Thanks Jared and Kai,

Actually I had more than one issue with my registration. First of all the events themselves can be registered in two ways. For team area wide events we should register it using

event

configuration point and for project are wide event we should register it using

projectEvent

.

Also, just mentioning the category id in the event configuration point will not suffice and the category configuration point should also be defined.

<category id="com.ibm.request.update"

	name="My Request">

	<description>

		request

	</description>

</category>

After all this is done I could go and modify the process specification as suggested by you guys.

I would request you guys to add this to the wiki guide for process enabling the components. At present for events atleast its too abstract and leaves a lot to be assumed.

Thanks and Regards,
Praveen

Glad you found the problem. Can you please file a work item with the
request to update the Wiki? This way we won't lose track of your request.
