EventService (Nuxeo ECM Projects 10.10 API)

All Superinterfaces:

EventProducer

All Known Implementing Classes:

EventServiceImpl
```
public interface EventService
extends EventProducer
```
The event service manages listener registries and notifies listeners about core events.
The service is able to run in a transactional mode where all events are recorded and fired after the transaction commits in one step as an event bundle.
To start a transaction, the framework calls the #transactionStarted() method, and at transaction commit the framework calls #transactionCommitted() to fire the event bundle. Upon rollback the framework calls #transactionRolledback() to clean up recorded events.
Events are recorded in a thread variable so they are valid only in the current thread.
An event marked Event.isInline() is dispatched immediately, otherwise it is recorded in a thread-based bundle of current events. If no transaction was started, an event marked Event.isCommitEvent() is used to flush the event bundle to its listeners, otherwise the transaction commit does the flush.
Listeners are of two types: EventListener notified as the event is raised and PostCommitEventListener notified after the transaction was committed.

- Method Detail
  - addEventListener
```
void addEventListener(EventListenerDescriptor listener)
```
    Adds a new event listener. Used by the framework.
    The event listener is described by a EventListenerDescriptor that may specify a priority. Both types of listeners (immediate and post-commit) are registered.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener to add
  - removeEventListener
```
void removeEventListener(EventListenerDescriptor listener)
```
    Removes an event listener. Used by the framework.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener to remove
  - fireEvent
```
void fireEvent(String name,
               EventContext context)
```
    Fires an event given its name and a context.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the event name
    
    context - the event context
  - fireEvent
```
void fireEvent(Event event)
```
    Fires an event.
    If a transaction was started, the event is registered if needed to be sent after the transaction commit.
    
    Specified by:
    
    fireEvent in interface EventProducer
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - the event to fire
  - fireEventBundle
```
void fireEventBundle(EventBundle event)
```
    Fires all recorded events in a transaction. Used by the framework.
    The events are fired to PostCommitEventListener listeners. Events are fired in the form of an event bundle.
    
    Specified by:
    
    fireEventBundle in interface EventProducer
    
    Parameters:
    
    event - the event bundle
  - fireEventBundleSync
```
void fireEventBundleSync(EventBundle event)
```
    Fires an event bundle in synchronous mode. Used by the framework.
    This means that asynchronous listeners will be run synchronously.
  - getEventListeners
```
List<EventListener> getEventListeners()
```
    Gets the list of the registered event listeners.
    Modification on this list will not modify the internal lists in this EventService.
    
    Returns:
    
    the event listeners
  - getPostCommitEventListeners
```
List<PostCommitEventListener> getPostCommitEventListeners()
```
    Get the list of the registered post commit event listeners.
    Modification on this list will not modify the internal lists in this EventService.
    
    Returns:
    
    the post commit event listeners
  - getEventListener
```
EventListenerDescriptor getEventListener(String name)
```
    Gets the event listener descriptor corresponding to the give name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the event listener name
    
    Returns:
    
    the descriptor, or null if not found

  - waitForAsyncCompletion
```
void waitForAsyncCompletion()
```
    Waits until all asynchronous tasks are finished.
  - waitForAsyncCompletion
```
void waitForAsyncCompletion(long timeout)
```
    Waits until all asynchronous tasks are finished, but waits no longer than the given number of milliseconds.
    
    Parameters:
    
    timeout - the maximum time to wait for, in milliseconds
