As a learning/debug helper I am trying to catch events when components are stored/removed from any context. org.jboss.seam.preSetVariable and the like do pretty much what I am looking for, but I would like to set this in a more coarse grained manner. As it is now, to use this I need to create a method for each event and for each variable I want to catch an event on. I would like to declare the components I want to catch events on and receive the events on the same listener. I could programatically add the observer when I see a component I am interested in but when the method is called I will not know which component it is for as there is no parameter passed to these methods. As an example if I have the following: | @Name( "personAction" ) | @Scope( ScopeType=PAGE ) | public class PersonAction implements Serializable | { | @In( scope=ScopeType.SESSION ) | Person person; | | ... | } | And a listener something like: | public presetVariable( Event someEvent ) | { | log.debug( "Event variable:" + someEvent.getVariable() ); | log.debug( "Component:" + someEvent.getComponent() ); | log.debug( "Contect type:" + someEvent.getContextType() ); | } | If somehow, in a yet determined way, I configure this component as an Observer for my event. I would like notification of when "personAction" and "person" have been added to context and removed from context and which context that is. I am not sure if there is already a means to do this, so any insight is appreciated. Thanks. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4048023#...
