Event listener for page version restore

Confluence Development Confluence Server

We want to perform some operations while the page version is being restored. Is there an event getting triggered when restoring the page version?

Hello @ShahPrerak

There are indeed events you can listen for when restoring content in Confluence.

  • We have events triggered when restoring content from trash (via Space tools > Content tools > Trash)
    PageRestoreEvent and BlogPostRestoreEvent
  • We also have events triggered when “reverting” content to a previous version, this one applies to both page and blog types
    ContentRevertedEvent

Below is a simple event implementation

import com.atlassian.confluence.event.events.content.ContentRevertedEvent;
import com.atlassian.confluence.event.events.content.blogpost.BlogPostRestoreEvent;
import com.atlassian.confluence.event.events.content.page.PageRestoreEvent;
import com.atlassian.event.api.EventListener;
import com.atlassian.event.api.EventListenerRegistrar;
import com.atlassian.plugin.spring.scanner.annotation.imports.ComponentImport;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.DisposableBean;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;


@Component
public class ContentEventsListener implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean {

    private final EventListenerRegistrar eventListenerRegistrar;

    @Autowired
    public ContentEventsListener(final @ComponentImport EventListenerRegistrar eventListenerRegistrar) {
        this.eventListenerRegistrar = eventListenerRegistrar;
    }

    @EventListener
    public void handlePageRestored(final PageRestoreEvent event) {
        System.out.printf("**** restored from trash %s\n", event);
    }

    @EventListener
    public void handleBlogRestored(final BlogPostRestoreEvent event) {
        System.out.printf("**** restored blog from trash %s\n", event);
    }

    @EventListener
    public void handleContentReverted(final ContentRevertedEvent event) {
        System.out.printf("***** restored content version from history %s\n", event);
    }

    @Override
    public void afterPropertiesSet() {
        this.eventListenerRegistrar.register(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {
        this.eventListenerRegistrar.unregister(this);
    }
}

I hope this helps !
