Customized MailDocumentHandlers

[fuzzydunlop]

Hi,

I've been working on a pet project that revolves around performing server-side monitoring of a user's message-related actions (ie reading, deleting, moving, etc). *edit* I should mention this is for ZCS, FRANKLIN build 5.09

The approach I've been taking is to first load a custom extension and add my mail service to the SoapServlet, which then *should* be going about registering the custom MailDocumentHandlers as handlers with the dispatcher. However I see no indication in the logs that the service and my handlers are actually being registered.

I couldn't find much documentation covering this type of work, but I've tried to follow the admin service's lead.
Essentially this is how it's set up to go now:

MonitoringExtension.java

public void init() throws ServiceException {
SoapServlet.addService("MonitoringService", new MonitoringService());
}

MonitoringService.java

public class MonitoringService implements DocumentService {
  public void registerHandlers(DocumentDispatcher dispatcher) {
    dispatcher.registerHandler(MailConstants.GET_MSG_REQUEST, new MonitoredGetMsg());
    dispatcher.registerHandler(MailConstants.CONV_ACTION_REQUEST, new MonitoredConvAction());
  }
}

I had also tried leveraging the zclient classes and events, but that did not work either.


Now.. I can achieve the desired effect by hacking away at the com.zimbra.cs.service.mail.{GetConv, ConvAction, GetMsg} classes directly and recompiling the zimbraserver, but I'd much rather be able to implement this as a portable extension.

I get the feeling I may be missing some pieces of the puzzle... or maybe this isn't possible through an extension.
Anyone out there got any suggestions?

Well I've taken a bit of a different approach this time..
I'm now adding my own custom Session as a listener to the mailboxes, and then parsing what I need from notifyPendingChanges() whenever it gets called

the following still seems like a bit of a kludge, but it works

public void init() throws ServiceException {
   for (String accountID : MailboxManager.getInstance().getAccountIds()){
      Mailbox mbox = MailboxManager.getInstance().getMailboxByAccountId(accountID);
		
      Session s = new MonitoringSession(mbox.getAccountId());
      s.register();
   }
}
