Listener for trashed page due to WordImportAction

Question

As part of importing a Word document, there's the option to replace an existing page and trashing that existing page's children.  It looks like this doesn't publish an event, but only updates the contentstatus of each child to TRASHED, so it gets past my existing event listener for trashed events.
Is there some sort of content status change listener I can implement?

Meant to update with eventual resolution...So, checking the PageUpdateEvent gives a hook to see what the status of the page is after Word Import, but doesn't really have any tie to the WordImportAction that initially caused that event.

Ended up storing info about the children of the page being edited via word import with a listener on WordImportAction, then checked the eventual PageUpdateEvent to see if the number of children changed, and went from there.  There doesn't look like there's a way to find out page deletions were caused by a WordImportAction without temporarily storing information during initial action to check during the event, or by adding a custom event to WordImportAction...Kinda disappointing.

Never thought about checking the PageUpdateEvent - will try that out, thanks!

Hei Fredrick

I would suggest the following workaround, while the team addresses the issue of missing events

import com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.content.ContentStatus;
import com.atlassian.confluence.core.ContentEntityObject;
import com.atlassian.confluence.event.events.content.page.PageUpdateEvent;
import com.atlassian.event.api.EventListener;
import com.atlassian.event.api.EventPublisher;
import com.atlassian.plugin.spring.scanner.annotation.imports.ComponentImport;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
import javax.annotation.PreDestroy;

@Component
public class ContentStatusUpdateListener {

private final EventPublisher eventPublisher;

@Autowired
    public ContentStatusUpdateListener(
final @ComponentImport EventPublisher eventPublisher) {
this.eventPublisher = eventPublisher;
    }

@PostConstruct
    public void register() {
eventPublisher.register(this);
    }

@PreDestroy
    public void unregister() {
eventPublisher.unregister(this);
    }

@EventListener
    public void onPageUpdate(final PageUpdateEvent event) {
final ContentEntityObject updated = event.getContent();

if (updated.getContentStatusObject().equals(ContentStatus.TRASHED)) {
// TODO
        }
    }
}
