On creation of new external user from ATG BCC, I need to include some logic like encrypting password and sending email to user. Achieved this functionality by extending GSAPropertyDescriptor class and overriding its getPropertyValue(RepositoryItemImpl pItem, Object pValue) method.
Problem is, this method is getting called only when we click on create button from "General" tab present in users section, but not on click of same create button from other tabs like "Commerce", "Orgs & Roles", "User Segments" and "Advanced".
Please suggest!!
It is not a good idea to override getPropertyValue of an item for this implementation. The right way to do this is to work with the formhandler that is responsible for saving the user. It is a bit tricky to find this formhandler. It will be in the atg/web/viewmapping/ViewMappingRepository/ of the BCC instance. In this repository there will be lots of formhandlers configured for different purposes. You have to pick the one relevant for the user edit. Here is an example of what you might find there:
With this, you go to appropriate Formhanlder, like /atg/web/assetmanager/editor/profile/UserFormHandler mentioned here. And override that component in your module with your own implementation. Once that is done, you'll have the control of the action. You can do your work and pass on the control to super class (the original implementation).
