Capturing publish event using ResourceChangeListener

[Ashwin_Raju]

Hi,

I wanted to capture asset activation event and do some changes. I'm trying using ResourceChangeListener and with property name hints but the event is getting captured for all change events such as image edits. I wanted the event to be captured only on Asset activation. Any help?

@Component(service = ResourceChangeListener.class,
        property = {
                ResourceChangeListener.PATHS + "=/content/dam/",
                ResourceChangeListener.CHANGES + "=CHANGED",
                ResourceChangeListener.PROPERTY_NAMES_HINT + "=*cq:lastReplicationAction"
        },

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Ashwin_Raju 

In my opinion the best way to implement any action on a Publish Event, is using Sling Events. Resource ChangeListeners are more for Resource Change Events. Eg, creating, modifying and deleting a Resource.

Please find below link to find out preferable listeners for different events:
