XPages application events: Create your own ApplicationListener (2)

There is another interface available which provides the additional method applicationRefreshed. This event is always raised if the method refresh() of the Application-Object is fired.

Instead of implement the interface described in the previous posting, you have to use the interface named com.ibm.xsp.application.events.ApplicationListener2.

package ch.hasselba.jsf.debug;

import com.ibm.xsp.application.ApplicationEx;
import com.ibm.xsp.application.events.ApplicationListener2;

public class MyApplicationListener implements ApplicationListener2 {

    public void applicationCreated(ApplicationEx arg0) {
        System.out.println("applicationCreated()");
        System.out.println("ID: " + arg0.getApplicationId());
     }

    public void applicationDestroyed(ApplicationEx arg0) {
        System.out.println("applicationDestroyed()");
        System.out.println("ID: " + arg0.getApplicationId());
    }

    public void applicationRefreshed(ApplicationEx arg0) {
        System.out.println("applicationRefreshed()");
        System.out.println("ID: " + arg0.getApplicationId());
    }

}

You can fire the refresh of the application manually. Here is a simple example how to do this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
   <xp:button value="Label" id="button1">
      <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
         refreshMode="complete">
            <xp:this.action>
               <![CDATA[#{javascript:
                  facesContext.getApplication().refresh()
               }]]>
            </xp:this.action>
        </xp:eventHandler>
   </xp:button>
</xp:view>

By clicking the button, the refresh is fired:
