Short Answer
You should be able to use a listener but off hand I don't know how to get the source transition state.
LifeCycleServiceEvent.generateEventKey(LifeCycleServiceEvent.STATE_CHANGE
The other alternative would be in a workflow.
Long Answer here is a rough example of the code putting it into a logger.info
You need 2 java class files
TransitionStateListenServiceInterface.java
package com.companynamehere.service.transitionstatelistener;
public interface TransitionStateListenServiceInterface {
}
TransitionStateListenService.java
import wt.util.WTPropertyVetoException;
import wt.lifecycle.*;
import wt.log4j.LogR;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.beans.PropertyVetoException;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import wt.services.ManagerException;
import wt.services.ServiceEventListenerAdapter;
import wt.services.StandardManager;
import wt.session.SessionContext;
import wt.util.DebugProperties;
import wt.util.DebugWriter;
import java.util.Properties;
import wt.doc.WTDocument;
import wt.epm.EPMDocument;
import wt.fc.WTObject;
import wt.org.WTUser;
import wt.part.WTPart;
import wt.session.SessionHelper;
import wt.util.WTException;
import wt.util.WTContext;
import java.util.*;
public class TransitionStateListenService extends StandardManager implements TransitionStateListenServiceInterface, Serializable {
private static final String CLASSNAME = TransitionStateListenService.class.getName();
private static String FILE_SEPARATOR;
private static String WINDCHILL_HOME;
private static Logger logger = null;
public static PrintWriter print = null;
static {
try {
logger = LogR.getLogger(TransitionStateListenService.class.getName());
wt.util.WTProperties wtProperties = null;
wtProperties = wt.util.WTProperties.getLocalProperties();
FILE_SEPARATOR = System.getProperty("file.separator");
WINDCHILL_HOME = wtProperties.getProperty("wt.home", "");
} catch (Throwable throwable) {
logger.debug("\n" + throwable.getMessage());
}
}
@Override
public String getConceptualClassname() {
return CLASSNAME;
}
public static TransitionStateListenService newTransitionStateListenService() throws WTException {
TransitionStateListenService instance = new TransitionStateListenService();
instance.initialize();
return instance;
}
@Override
protected void performStartupProcess() throws ManagerException {
/* Standard debug output */
logger.debug(CLASSNAME + " performStartupProcess");
/* Standard way to become admin */
SessionContext prev = SessionContext.newContext();
try {
SessionHelper.manager.setAdministrator();
} catch (WTException wte) {
logger.error("StandardListenService: failed to set Administrator (ok if installation)");
return;
} finally {
SessionContext.setContext(prev);
}
try {
logger.debug("performStartupProcess() starting ..");
getManagerService().addEventListener(new ServiceEventListenerAdapter(this.getConceptualClassname()) {
@Override
public void notifyVetoableEvent(Object event) throws WTException, PropertyVetoException, WTPropertyVetoException {
LifeCycleServiceEvent lifecycleEvent = (LifeCycleServiceEvent) event;
Object object = lifecycleEvent.getEventTarget();
try
{
if (object instanceof WTPart) {
WTPart part = (WTPart) object;
// do your code here
logger.info("part " + part.getNumber().toString() + " " + part.getState().toString() );
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
logger.error("error transitioning object" + object.toString() );
}
}
}, LifeCycleServiceEvent.generateEventKey(LifeCycleServiceEvent.STATE_CHANGE));
logger.info("performStartupProcess() Completed ..");
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.debug("Error in try block >>>>>>>>>" +e.getMessage());
throw new ManagerException("Error");
}
}
}
then you will need to add the following to site.xconf file
<Property name="wt.services.service.200000" overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="com.companynamehere.service.transitionstatelistener.TransitionStateListenServiceInterface/com.companynamehere.service.transitionstatelistener.TransitionStateListenService"/>
run xconfmanager -p
copy the class files their respective locations in the method server,
restart the server and you should be getting some logs.
