Hello, Is there any way to add some code without recompiling xwiki-core (plugin? component?) that could register a listener for any changes in documents (preferably by mask / type, as in "listen for added comments on Main.* and Blog.*") and optionally veto (and/or flag for review?) them?
If not, please consider adding it - it would be a very nice way to make writing things like spam- and vandal- filters easier.
It would also allow making such things more modular - if any plugin could register such a listener, then there could be (for example) two independent plugins running at once, one handling scenarios like "bad source" - "bad ip", "possible anonymous proxy", the other "bad content" - "bad words", "structure looks like spam" or "too many links". Yes, there is the old notification API in xwiki-core, and the new observation component that handle this scenario (see http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core-observation/apidocs... for the documentation, and http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-localization/sr... for usage example at the end of the file). And yes, this is one of the (three) best approaches to the anti vandalism project. The veto-ing part is not yet written, I remember proposing it initially, but Vincent opposed the idea,
Sergiu, could you find the email thread again? I'd like to see why I "opposed" the idea.
