An event action is the FileNet® P8 registration for the Java™ class code that a developer
implements by using the Content Engine API EventActionHandler interface
in the Content Engine API.
About this task
The code is called the event action handler. To view a sample
source code implementation of EventActionHandler,
see JavaEventHandler.java in the following directory:
…/Program Files/Filenet/Content Engine/samples
A
handler can be implemented in the following ways:
A class file that is in the Java virtual
machine (JVM) class path
A class or JAR file that is contained in a code module
Creating an event action
To programmatically respond to an event for an object,
create an event action. You use a subscription to associate the created
event action with one or more events and objects.
Creating or modifying a custom event
You can create your own custom events and properties in
addition to those events provided by IBM®
FileNet P8.
Custom events can be used for both auditing and event subscriptions.
