How to set up an EventListener on an event from another plugin?

Tyler Dansby January 5, 2021

I've been trying to set up an EventListener using an AnswerCreatedEvent from the com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.questions package. The class I set up works for core Confluence events, but when I change it to a Questions event, it says it is missing dependencies when I try to upload it and cannot be enabled.

https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence-questions/2.5.4/com/atlassian/confluence/plugins/questions/event/AnswerCreatedEvent.html

@ExportAsService({SampleEventListener.class})
@Named("sampleEventListener")
@Scanned
public class SampleEventListener implements DisposableBean, InitializingBean {

@ConfluenceImport
private EventPublisher eventPublisher;

@Inject
public SampleEventListener(
final EventPublisher eventPublisher
) {
this.eventPublisher = eventPublisher;
}

/**
* Called when the plugin has been enabled.
*
* @throws Exception
*/
@Override
public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
// Register ourselves with the EventPublisher
eventPublisher.register(this);
Utils.log("Listener Initialized.");
}

// Unregister the listener if the plugin is uninstalled or disabled.
@Override
public void destroy() throws Exception {
eventPublisher.unregister(this);
Utils.log("Listener Un-initialized.");
}

@EventListener
public void answerCreatedEvent(final AnswerCreatedEvent event) {
System.out.println("Answer was created!");
}
}

 

Here's part of my pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.confluence.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>confluence-questions</artifactId>
<version>2.99.111</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<Import-Package>
*;resolution:=optional,
</Import-Package>

 

This is the log I'm getting when attemping to upload the plugin.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to introspect Class [com.atlassian.confluence.community.listeners.SampleEventListener] from ClassLoader [com.atlassian.confluence.community.confluence-community [305]]
...
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/atlassian/confluence/plugins/questions/event/AnswerCreatedEvent

 

One other thing to mention is that I did find this article regarding a similar error I was having: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/framework/atlassian-sdk/bundleexception/

I checked the Felix web console as it suggests and was not able to find the questions package being exported.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
