Adding custom handlers

Custom Handlers in the CloudIO platform allows you to implement custom code to perform any DML (Insert, Update, Delete) operations on the data source.

Examples of custom actions:

• Creating an XML file to store the data

• Invoking a web service

• Inserting the data into some other table

• Sending an email with data as an attachment

The platform invokes the custom handler before and after executing the DML operation.

To implement a custom handler, you must define a java class that implements an interface 'xxra.customobjects.ObjectHandler' provided by the platform.

• This custom class must implement methods that will be invoked by the platform.

• Each method will have access to the data that is being inserted, updated, or deleted.
