I'm trying to define a Model Listener hook using the 5.2 definition for hooks. In 5.1 you could specify your model listeners in liferay-hook.xml:
1
2<hook>
3 <model-listener>
4 <model-listener-class>be.aca.RegistrationValueListener</model-listener-class>
5 <model-name>com.liferay.portlet.expando.model.ExpandoValue</model-name>
6 </model-listener>
7</hook>
Since 5.2 you have to do it in the portal.properties. So I define my hook like this:
12<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
3<!DOCTYPE hook PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Hook 5.2.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-hook_5_2_0.dtd">
4<hook>
5 <portal-properties>portal-ext.properties</portal-properties>
6</hook>
I put a custom portal-ext.properties inside my src folder and enter:
1
2value.object.listener.com.liferay.portlet.expando.model.ExpandoValue=be.aca.RegistrationValueListener
In my listener, I perform an action on creation of an ExpandoValue:
1
2public class RegistrationValueListener implements ModelListener {
3
4 //...
5
6 @Override
7 public void onAfterCreate(BaseModel model) throws ModelListenerException {
8 System.out.println("BLABLA");
9 }
10
11 //...
12}
But on form submit, nothing gets logged... What's going wrong? In 5.1 this worked perfectly.
