16.66. Broadcasting Events

When your RepositorySource instance is put into the library within a running ModeShape system, the initialize( RepositoryContext ) method will be called on the instance. The supplied RepositoryContext object represents the context in which the RepositorySource is running, and provides access to an ExecutionContext, a RepositoryConnectionFactory that can be used to obtain connections to other sources, and an Observer of your source that should be called with events describing the Changes being made within the source, either as a result of ChangeRequest operations being performed on this source, or as a result of operations being performed on the content from outside the source.
