[opencms-dev] Module Action class updateModule method

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Pere,

you have to tell OpenCms what event your module is interested in. Within your initialize implementation first check that all preconditions are proper for your 
module to react upon the events. Then finally register your module to receive events:

OpenCms.addCmsEventListener(this, new int[] {I_CmsEventListener.EVENT_BEFORE_PUBLISH_PROJECT});

look into the interface for other event constants to choose when your module should be invoked.
Your implementation of cmsEvent(CmsEvent) will be called if everything is right.

kind regards,

Achim
