Default custom event listener

[sojk...@gmail.com]

Hi,

we need to execute some default methods on some events. For example we need default execute method on each event create user task and another on service task.

We tried used to

class CustomParseHandler extends AbstractBpmnParseListener

(and registered it in config.groovy, we use grails camunda plugin)

but these events are executed just in process is deployed. Is there another way, how to set custom listeners? Or always set this listener via modeler?

Best regards

Hi Jiri,

the parse listener is invoked when an XML element is parsed. You can use a parse listener to attach execution listeners or task listeners to the process definition graph.

An example is the built-in history parse listener:

https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform/blob/master/engine/src/main/java/org/camunda/bpm/engine/impl/history/parser/HistoryParseListener.java

Here is another example:

Hi Jiri,

Id suggest having a look at the execution listener;

http://docs.camunda.org/latest/guides/user-guide/#process-engine-delegation-code

My understanding is the parse listener is more orienetd to deployment, execution listener to run time. From your description it looks like your more interested in runtime events.

Hi Rob,

I agree with your opinion. But if I use execution listener, I have to define it on each task (user, service...) manualy.

I want to register some listener and execute every time without attach it in modeler.

Hi Jiris,

I believe the engine supports a global execution listener. Refer to user guide link below;
