Event Handlers Invoked Everytime for update on User Profile.(OIM 11g)

Question

Hi,
We had Custom event handlers for generating some fields on user form.
Everytime there is update on user profile on any field, All the event handlers fired, (As seen from logs).
I want to fire particular event handlers on particular update. Like if first name is updated then only display name event handler should fire. (not all)
How can i achieve this???

Answer 1

Here is my code..it is working fine for creation of the user. but when i am updating the user i am getting all null values except the updated one.
Example if there are 5 fields in that i am updating 2 .apart from those 2 fields the other 3 are coming as null which is making validation to fail.
