I am using the jackrabbit webapp and I don't want to subclass, or modify existing jackrabbit classes just to insert code that register my own event listener to observe repository changes like addition, modifications, removal, etc. In the WEB-INF/config.xml I saw and registration but there's unfortunately not anything that looks like event listeners registration. No, there is no declarative way to do so, because it is part of the JCR API (iomanager and co. are Jackrabbit-specific extensions that have to be run at startup) and most importantly, it requires a session, which in turn requires you to log in with a certain user. How you do this depends on your application framework, because in most cases you want that eventlistener to be started in a long-running component (the session needs to stay open as long as you want to receive events). Then you "only" have to call session.getWorkspace().getObservationManager().registerEventListener [1].
