Yes, but if you're brave enough you can implement the event listener as a wiki component ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WikiComponent+Module ) which will be registered automatically (even after a server restart) without the need of a scheduler job. > I am also assuming I don't need to do > anything to the page in question to trigger the event listener (other than > save it!). Yes, once the event listener is registered, each page save will trigger it.
