Creating an AEM JCR Event Listener using a Maven Archetype 12 Project

You can develop a custom JCR Event Listener for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.3 that responds to events that occur at the JCR level. For example, you can write an event handler to respond to the following JCR events:

• A node was added
• A node was moved
• A node was deleted
• A property was added to a node
• A property was changed
• A property was deleted

To create an AEM event listener, you create an OSGi bundle that contains a class that implements javax.jcr.observation.EventListener. For information, see EventListener.

Reading OSGi Configuration Values for Adobe Experience Manager 6.3

Summary

Discusses how to create an Adobe Experience Manager OSGi bundle that reads configuration values. This article uses Declarative Services Annotations. 

You can define OSGi configuration values by using CRXDE lite and dynamically read these values from within an OSGi service. By defining configuration values, you can define values used by an OSGi service and use these values while the service is running. Unlike hard-coding values in an AEM OSGi service, defining values in the AEM configuration user interface (http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr) lets you change values without re-compiling the bundle.
