Add an ExecutionListener via the Java API

jonathan1 — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:00:59 GMT

I'd like to add an ExecutionListener to update a table when any process instance completes.Is there a way to add an ExecutionListener from the JavaAPI, or alternatively in the ProcessEngine configuration? I'd like not to alter process definitions to specify the listener.

You can do it by implementing a custom BpmnParseListener and registering that via activiti.cfg.xml (property customPostBPMNParseListeners). There are some examples on the forums for that 🙂

Thanks, naag. Adding to the processEngineConfiguration bean

<property name="customPostBPMNParseListeners">
    <list>
        <bean class="my.class.name.ListenerImpl" />
    </list>
</property>

in the Activiti configuration file worked well.

This method seems to have gone away. Is there a new recommended approach?

These have been renamed to 'parse handlers', see http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#advanced_parseHandlers for the new way of doing the same thing.
