Hi Alessio  & Sylvain ,
  Thanks a lot for your response. As you told I wrote a action class and
registered in my module. It's listening to my action class . I am trying to
get mofified or created Resouce path and resouce name only but the function
event.getData() is giving lot of info which I don't need it.  Can you tell
me what shoould I do to get only Resource path and name.

Thanks in advance
Sriman
