changing a resource's owner

[Brian Moseley <bc...@osafoundation.org>]

[originally sent to user list, then realized the question is likely more 
appropriate here - sorry for the double post!]

i find that i need to change a resource's owner after it has been
created. i understand that owner is a protected property, but i don't
have a choice; for project-specific reasons, i cannot create the
resource as the user whom i want to own the resource.

my first thought was to make this a special privilege i could assign to
the root user. is this the route i should be going down, or is there a
better way? i have spent an hour or so looking through the source, and
it's still not obvious to me how i would go about making such a change.

thanks!

thanks again for the pointer. i added a simple ContentListener that 
listens for create events and sets the owner appropriately. was very 
easy once i knew to have a look at the events stuff, and it works great.

AW: changing a resource's owner

[Daniel Florey <da...@web.de>]

Hi Brian,
I don't know if it's working, but my proposal would be just to add an
extractor that simply returns the owner-property with the desired content.
Have a look at the event-package.html, this might be a good starting point
or check out the demo extractors provided. It's fairly simple to register an
extractor in the domain.xml.
If it's working it's the cleanest way as you don't have to hack the Slide
core...

Cheers,
Daniel
