 * If the other service or a third party want to customize their code to handle
 * an user event, the event can be new , update or remove. They should make a
 * class that extends from this class and register the listener with the
 * organization service. There are 2 ways to register a listener with the
 * service. a) To do it programatically: [..] import
 * org.exoplatform.container.PortalContainer ; import
 * org.exoplatform.services.organization.OrganizationService ; [..]
 * UserEventListener listener = new MyUserEventListener(..) ; PortalContainer
 * pcontainer = PortalContainer.getInstance() ; OrganizationService service =
 * (OrganizationService) pcontainer.getInstanceOfType(OrganizationService.class)
 * ; service.getUserHandler().addUserEventListener(listener) ; b) Register by
 * the xml configuration: You need to create a my.package.MyUserEventListener
 * that extends this class and add a conf/portal/configuration.xml to the
 * classpath. The configuration.xml can be in a jar file. The file should
 * contain the following configuraiton:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * &lt;configuration&gt;
 *   [..]
 *   &lt;external-component-plugins&gt;
 *     &lt;target-component&gt;org.exoplatform.services.organization.OrganizationService&lt;/target-component&gt;
 *     &lt;component-plugin&gt;
 *        &lt;name&gt;my.user.listener&lt;/name&gt;
 *        &lt;set-method&gt;addListenerPlugin&lt;/set-method&gt;
 *        &lt;type&gt;my.package.MyUserEventListener&lt;/type&gt;
 *        &lt;description&gt;your listener description&lt;/description&gt;
 *      &lt;/component-plugin&gt;
 *  &lt;/external-component-plugins&gt;
 *  [...]
 * /configuration&gt;
 * </pre>
