Module Settings Have Changed

This event occurs when the runtime settings of a module have changed. You can retrieve the names, old and new values of the changed settings, and act accordingly. For example, if member permissions for a document list have changed, you can update permissions in the KM backend.

To register for these events, you need to create a property com.sap.workspaces.module.metadata.extension~settings in the portalapp.xml , for example:

<property name="com.sap.workspaces.module.metadata.extension~settings" value="prt_service:com.yourname.portal.workspaces.modules.MyExtensionService"/>

The following example illustrates how to retrieve the old and new values of a changed setting, and perform an appropriate action:

public void onChangeSettings(IModuleContext moduleContext, ChangedSetting[] changedSettings)
			throws ModuleLifecycleException
{
ChangedSetting changedSetting = changedSettings[0];

// Retrieve the key of the changed setting
String key = changedSetting.getKey();

// Retrieve the old value of the changed setting
String oldValue = changedSetting.getOldValue();

// Retrieve the new value of the changed setting
String newValue = changedSetting.getNewValue();

// Perform an action
}
