Intercept Publish action

[Sliver <ze...@hotmail.com>]

hi, i must develop an application that copy the meta-data (in a jackrabbit
repository) of a resource in lenya when it been published.
I need to not modify lenya more possible (i know it's anti open-source
concept but this is the superior order)... so i think to use a filter to
intercept the httpRequest of publishing when the lenya reviewer click on
accept pubblication.
Do you thing this is possible with a servlet filter to specify in lenya
descripton (the only modify that could i do in lenya with a filter) or is it
a stupid idea?

thank and bye

first of all - are you permitted to provide more information about
your project? Especially the Jackrabbit integration sounds very
interesting.

This requirement is very reasonable, since patches make the
maintenance more difficult. Therefore Lenya is designed to let you
override virtually all functionality.

Is your application based on Lenya 1.2.x or 1.4-dev?

In both cases the most straightforward way would be to override the
publish usecase in your publication. I wouldn't recommend a servlet
filter, because you'd circumvent the usecase invocation infrastructure
(transactions, error handling, logging etc.).

For a more specific answer I need more information about your
application.
