Hooks in Vault(compared to VSS)

[sprugh]

Vault doesn't seem to have a way to hook into events like BeforeCheckIn like VSS does. This is pretty critical for us because we have built an integration with an incident tracking system and VSS to track source files. I heard, that SG is developing an incident tracking system, but I doubt we would be able to replace both our systems at once. We would have to phase it.

So, is there anyway to hook the Vault Client? Is the source code available? How about other extensibility areas in the Vault client. I would also like to extend the client to manage DB objects more effectively.

Vault does have a plugin system that you can use to hook into 4 events Login, Logout, BeginTx, and EndTx. You can see an example plugin at http://weblogs.asp.net/jeremy_sheeley/a ... 04/07.aspx

Thanks.

Is this only for backend processing? I need to hook the front-end like the VSS model does. We prompt for incident information to tie to a file, so we need to pop a control to the user.

Can this mechanism do this?

This is server-side, not client side, so it may not help you. There is no way to integrate in this way with the client side.
