How do I listen / respond to events in Jira OnDemand?

Question

I've read that Jira provides a vast event sub system that allows for people to author custom listeners to respond to specific events - this looks to be specific to non-hosted Jira.

For hosted Jira, how do I go about leveraging existing listeners and events so that I can trigger processes external to Jira?

Thanks,

Cory

Im pretty sure that you cant deploy traditional plugins that would normally get hooks into such things (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Restricted+Functions+in+Atlassian+OnDemand).

There is an effort to create remote-apps, that help Atlassian externalize the management and complexity involved in supporting arbitrary plugins.  Have a look at https://bitbucket.org/mrdon/remoteapps-plugin  , note, this si still in development and AFAIK not yet available in ondemand, getting up to speed will I think allow you do what you want _later_.

I guess the only way you could do things like that now, is to monitor activity through the REST api's
