Hi,

in the past I used some static fields (e.g. SlingConstants.TOPIC_RESOURCE_ADDED, SlingConstants.TOPIC_RESOURCE_CHANGED, ...) to implement EventHandlers. Since AEM 6.2 this static fields are deprecated. In JavaDoc I found the hint to use ResourceChangeListener instead. But I didn't find any example how to use ResourceChangeListener. Has anybody an example how to use them?

regards
Reini

Try using https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/spec/jsr170/javadocs/jcr-1.0/javax/jcr/observation/EventListener.html

Here is Javadoc. https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling6/org/apache/sling/api/SlingConstants.html#PROPERTY_PATH. What version are you referring to?

Not sure why it's not showing the @Deprecated annotation on any of the Sling API JavaDocs online[1], but if you open the org.apache.sling.api.SlingConstants class that's included in the AEM 6.2.0 UberJar, you'll see the following:

/** * The topic for the OSGi event which is sent when a resource has been added * to the resource tree. * The event contains at least the {@link #PROPERTY_PATH}, {@link #PROPERTY_RESOURCE_SUPER_TYPE} * and {@link #PROPERTY_RESOURCE_TYPE} properties. * @since 2.0.6 (Sling API Bundle 2.0.6) * * @deprecated Register a {@link ResourceChangeListener} instead */ @Deprecated public static final String TOPIC_RESOURCE_ADDED = "org/apache/sling/api/resource/Resource/ADDED"; /** * The topic for the OSGi event which is sent when a resource has been removed * from the resource tree. * The event contains at least the {@link #PROPERTY_PATH}. As the resource has already been removed * no further information like resource type etc. might be available. * @since 2.0.6 (Sling API Bundle 2.0.6) * * @deprecated Register a {@link ResourceChangeListener} instead */ @Deprecated public static final String TOPIC_RESOURCE_REMOVED = "org/apache/sling/api/resource/Resource/REMOVED"; /** * The topic for the OSGi event which is sent when a resource has been changed * in the resource tree. * The event contains at least the {@link #PROPERTY_PATH}, {@link #PROPERTY_RESOURCE_SUPER_TYPE} * and {@link #PROPERTY_RESOURCE_TYPE} properties. * Since 2.2.0 the event might contain these properties {@link #PROPERTY_ADDED_ATTRIBUTES}, * {@link #PROPERTY_REMOVED_ATTRIBUTES}, {@link #PROPERTY_CHANGED_ATTRIBUTES}. All of them are * optional. * @since 2.0.6 (Sling API Bundle 2.0.6) * * @deprecated Register a {@link ResourceChangeListener} instead */ @Deprecated public static final String TOPIC_RESOURCE_CHANGED = "org/apache/sling/api/resource/Resource/CHANGED";

Also worth noting, in my own search for replacement of these deprecations in our own listener classes, I stumbled onto this code sample from Adobe Consulting Services' ACS AEM Samples github[1]: SampleResourceChangeListener.java[2].

Looks like exactly what you need, Reini-.
