Hi Andrea,
I did a post in my blog about the old way to do a DSpace consumer (
http://luizclaudiosantos.me/the-most-useless-dspace-consumer-ever/),
however, I was not able to understand when exactly this event listener is
called in Spring, do you know that? I even saw this answer of yours in the
stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30315988/dspace-
event-producer-consumer)
Best regards
Luiz
