Resource loader event listener

["technosf@speakeasy.net" <te...@speakeasy.net>]

Hello all,

I wondered if there are plans to implement a resource loader event listener?

What I would like to do is create an event listener that would get fired when a template has been touched and is reloaded. I need to sync to given templates, however I would prefer to avoid checking getLastModified() each time in the critical code, instead implementing a listener and have the resource loader issue a callback.


Thanks for your consideration!

So poking around in the source it looks like it very do-able to add a listener to push out template modification times, especially for file-based templates. This would help me manage web cache HTTP calls to lastModified without having to call Template.getLastModified. I figure this interface would do:


public interface SourceModificationListener
{
	public void sourceModified( long modificationTime );
}



I'd love to give coding this a go. But does it make sense for this in Velocity? Have I missed something? Am I dumb?

OK, so awaiting flames   8-|
