Custom eventing for reporting --- am i using the correct ResourceEvent?

Question

Hi All,
I am using a web content management tool which stores all the content created through the tool in /documents repository . This content is published in the portal under various roles  . I am working on a report to generate and report the hit counts for the pages in this repository . I have written a Km service that subscribes to GET_TEMPLATE event to generate these statistics.
The problem i am facing is this . When i navigate through the KM folder structure to a given page in a subfolder and do a preview of the page content , the hitcount is incremented and the report reflects this increase . However if i navigate to the role where the content is published and view the content from the role , the page hit count is not incremented and the report does not show the increment .
My questions are
1) Do i need to write a custom KM event that notifies the repository broker about
    the page access through the roles?
2) Is there any other standard event to which i can subscribe to get this page hit count.
Any helpful answers will be rewarded.
regards
Subra

Hi Subra,
> is there any way to know if the tool is raising any event
As I have been one of the developers, I can report that the tool definitely does not raise such an event explicitely. But as said above, it also shouldn't do this, as it shouldn't be needed. In addition, for the display the tool redirects to a KM navigation iView, which normally should lead to the expected event risen anyhow.
But if it really doesn't work, you still have the option to ask btexx to check if this is a shortcoming on SAP side - which in the interest of a smooth working product should be tracked, maybe worked around...
About the caching I can report that there is also no caching used at the moment for the display. This may change one day, for this in fact it would make sense to raise the event (even if the resource isn't called from the framework, but to enable such kind of statistics, if they won't be part of the product one day anyhow).
Hope it helps

One additional remark for all people involved: I just remember to have read about the same "missing" event on SDN, but I never checked this in the end. It <i>might</i> be that the navigation iView only throws the getChildren event, as for other resources than XML forms elements, it only renders the name of the resource, not it's (or part of it's) content (so the content doesn't get accessed). This also would make sense as normally the access to the <i>Show</i> form could be differentiated from the access to the <i>RenderListItem</i> form.
