Trap server side create room event / set room variables

[mrpinc]

I am looking to trap these events to make the newly created room/room variables persist (as in not delete when the creator leaves the server)

How can I achieve this using the server addEventHandler() method? I would prefer to do it this way rather than writing a custom extension since I can just leverage the existing client api, and avoiding all my client devs from updating their code.

You can't trap events in the way you want to.
When an event is dispatched to the listener, the action it represents already occurred.
You need a custom call to your server-side extension.

Actually if the event already occurred that is fine with me, i just want to take the newly created room or room-variables and turn them into never-delete, is this possible?

Turns out it is possible with the room variables - I am sure the exact same thing will work with the Room -

Code: Select all

public void handleServerEvent(ISFSEvent event) throws SFSException {

      List<RoomVariable> l = (List<RoomVariable>) event.getParameter(SFSEventParam.VARIABLES);
      
      for (Iterator<RoomVariable> it = l.iterator(); it.hasNext();) {
          RoomVariable r = (RoomVariable) it.next();
         
          r.setPersistent(true);
         
          User server = this.getParentExtension().getApi().getUserByName("server");
         
          r.setOwner(server);         

      }
   }
