ContactLifeCycle

ContactLifeCycle is an interface to extend the capabilities of eXo Platform. The ContactLifeCycle lets you be notified during the lifecycle of an address book's contact when a contact is added or modified.

An example of ContactLifeCycle has been implemented to integrate the Address Book application in the eXo Social's Spaces. See the following configuration at: ext/social-integration/src/main/resources/conf/portal/configuration.xml.

See the following example:

    <set-method>addListenerPlugin</set-method>

    <type>org.exoplatform.cs.ext.impl.ContactSpaceActivityPublisher</type>

  </component-plugin>

</external-component-plugins>
