Can I override replication Action?

[以前のコミュニティメンバー]

Hi There,

Is it possible to detect a ReplicationAction event (in Sling or a replication preprocessor) in such a way that the Replication is cancelled?

e.g. 

• Have an event trigger on a Replication Action
• Assess some criteria
• cancel replication if not appropriate

There are a lot of examples for listening to Replication event topics, but I can't see any that actually prevent the Replication Action from happening.

Thanks!

You could create your own replication servlet that evaluates the criteria. The replication agent is configured to use a specific servlet that actually performs the replication. Create your custom servlet and point the agent at it (URI property on the Transport tab)

Thanks Scott, 

Just to confirm - rather than override the receiver servlet on the publish, wouldn't it be better to override the author agent to make the decision whether it will queue the job or not.  Is that possible?

Kind Regards
