Retrieval Example

In the following example, a managed object is retrieved from an event. If the object’s PROPERTY_EMAIL attribute does not already contain a user’s email address, a default email address is created.

Example:

public int before(EventContext evtCtx) throws Exception {
    IMEvent evt = evtCtx.getEvent();
    if (evt instanceof UserEvent) {
        User user = ((UserEvent) evt).getUser();
        try {
            String userMail =user.getAttribute(User.PROPERTY_EMAIL);
            logDebugMessage("User Specified EMAIL "+userMail,true);
            logDebugMessage("Default EMAIL "+user.getFriendlyName()
                            + email, true);
            if(userMail == null || userMail.length() == 0 ) {
                user.setAttribute(User.PROPERTY_EMAIL,                                   user.getFriendlyName() + email);
           }
        } catch (Exception ex) {
             logDebugMessage("Set EMAIL exception: "+ex.getMessage()                         + " in event " + evt.getEventName(), true);
       }
   }
   return CONTINUE;
}
