| [mylyn-integrators] Inverted relationship to Monitor API request |
|
Hi All, I’m in a situation where I’d like to subscribe
to Interaction Events in the Monitor API in addition to generating them. The
situation is that I need a live feed of events in my organization for usage
tracking - I’m trying to build something like a dashboard where I can see
where people might need help due to excessive time spent in a task context. Can
anyone provide guidance on this concept? Negative guidance is welcome too (as
in: don’t do it). From an implementation standpoint, I can see two similar approaches,
both having code introduced into InteractionEventLogger, where an independent plug-in
could be notified each time interactionObserved is fired: 1.
An addListener-style mechanism could allow any
arbitrary class to subscribe using a GoF Observer pattern. 2.
An extension point definition could be created allowing
the InteractionEventLogger to use a factory instantiate the listeners and then
perform the notify. Sincerely, Randall |
