How to check whether add-on installed first time or not

rambabu patina

I want to check whether my customised add-on installed first time or not in confluence. Any code sample for it would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to execute certain code when your app is enabled you should:

• create a component which implements org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean
• doing so you will need to implement the afterPropertiesSet() method which is called after the component was initialized
• if you want to execute code only when it was installed the first time and not after each Confluence reboot etc, you will need to store some indicator for it e.g. using Bandana

Best,
Tobias
