Re: Moving container, when page is moved

[Benjamin . Papez]

Storing the container after a page move would be dirty, as it is not said that the user will really save the new container. He still may cancel.

But meanwhile I could solve the whole issue as I found out how to get access to the JahiaContentContainerFacade out of the event-listener. Don't know, why I haven't seen that earlier.

    Map engineMap =
      (HashMap)jParams.getSession().getAttribute(
        "jahia_session_engineMap");

          JahiaContentContainerFacade jahiaContentContainerFacade =
            (JahiaContentContainerFacade)engineMap.get(
              "UpdateContainer_Engine.JahiaContentContainerFacade");

Now I am moving the fields from the source-container to the target-container, which is behind the JahiaContentContainerFacade. For now, the testing works fine. I hope there will be no unforseen side-effects.

Thanks and greetings,
Benjamin Papez
