Custom topiclistener not working on richfaces push component of verion 4.2.2-Final and older -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-12303 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12303 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-a4j-core, component-push/poll Affects Versions: 4.2.2.Final Environment: No deponds on what environment. Reporter: Daniel Yang Assignee: Lukáš Fryč Labels: push, richfaces Fix For: 4.3.0.M3 Original Estimate: 15 minutes Remaining Estimate: 15 minutes See description here: https://community.jboss.org/message/736651#736651 Copy it again: I use it like following lines: {code:java} TopicsContext topicsContext = TopicsContext.lookup(); Topic topic = topicsContext.getOrCreateTopic(new TopicKey("test")); topic.setMessageDataSerializer(DefaultMessageDataSerializer.instance()); topic.addTopicListener(new SessionTopicListener2() { @Override public void processPreSubscriptionEvent(SessionPreSubscriptionEvent event) throws SubscriptionFailureException { //TODO } @Override public void processSubscriptionEvent(SessionSubscriptionEvent event) { //TODO } @Override public void processUnsubscriptionEvent(SessionUnsubscriptionEvent event) { //TODO } }); {code} I noted that listeners in TopicImpl are all the SessionTopicListener2 type, because add method is: {code:java} public void addTopicListener(TopicListener topicListener) { TopicListener listener = topicListener; if (listener instanceof SessionTopicListener) { listener = new SessionTopicListenerWrapper((SessionTopicListener) listener); } listeners.add(listener); } {code} All SessionTopicListeners are wrapped to type SessionTopicListener2, and when event publish in TopicImpl, it check it if it is appropriate listener like this: {code:java} public void publishEvent(TopicEvent event) { for (TopicListener listener : listeners) { if (event.isAppropriateListener(listener)) { try { event.invokeListener(listener); } catch (Exception e) { logError(e); } } } } {code} But event type SessionPreSubscriptionEvent, SessionSubscriptionEvent or SessionUnsubscriptionEvent does not override the mothed isAppropriateListener, so when checking, it use the method of its parent SessionTopicEvent, its parent method is like this: {code:java} @Override public boolean isAppropriateListener(EventListener listener) { return (listener instanceof SessionTopicListener); } {code} Then it always returns false for above three SessionTopicEvent , and the custom listeners will never be called. I think it may be changed from " return (listener instanceof SessionTopicListener);" to return (listener instanceof SessionTopicListener2); or override it in seperator implementation of type SessionTopicEvent.
