Configuring the Edit Behavior of a Component - CQ Listeners

The edit behavior of a component is configured by adding a cq:editConfig node of type cq:EditConfig below the component node (of type cq:Component) and by adding specific properties and child nodes. The following properties and child nodes are available:
  
cq:editConfig node properties: (Can apply these fields & props to editConfit child node)
cq:actions (String array):    defines the actions that can be performed on the component.
cq:layout (String):    defines how the component is edited.
cq:dialogMode (String):    defines how the component dialog is opened.
cq:emptyText (String):    defines the text that is displayed when no visual content is present.
cq:inherit (Boolean):    defines if missing values are inherited from the component that it inherits from.
cq:editConfig child nodes: (Can apply these fields & props to editConfit child node)
cq:dropTargets (node type nt:unstructured):    defines a list of drop targets that can accept a drop from an asset of the content finder.
cq:actionConfigs (node type nt:unstructured):    defines a list of new actions that are appended to the cq:actions list.
cq:formParameters (node type nt:unstructured):    defines additional parameters that are added to the dialog form.
cq:inplaceEditing (node type cq:InplaceEditingConfig):    defines an inplace editing configuration for the component.
cq:listeners(node type cq:EditListenersConfig):    defines what happens before or after an action occurs on the component.

Note: Node (properties and child nodes) is represented as XML, as shown in the following example.

Applying with cq:EditConfig Properties: 
CQ:ACTIONS
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
       cq:actions="[edit,-,delete,insert]"
       cq:layout="editbar"
jcr:primaryType="cq:EditConfig"/>

Applying cq:EditConfig Child Nodes : 
CQ:DROPTARGETS
<cq:dropTargets jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
  <file
       jcr:primaryType="cq:DropTargetConfig"
       accept="[.*]"
       groups="[media]"
       propertyName="./fileReference"/>
</cq:dropTargets>



CQ:ACTIONCONFIGS
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
     cq:actions="[EDIT,COPYMOVE,DELETE,INSERT]"
     jcr:primaryType="cq:EditConfig">
           <cq:actionConfigs jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
                               <separator0
                  jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                  xtype="tbseparator"/>
                                             <manage
                       jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                       handler="function(){CQ_collab_forum_openCollabAdmin();}"
                       text="Manage comments"/>
         </cq:actionConfigs>
</jcr:root>

CQ:FORMPARAMETERS
<cq:formParameters
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   name="photos/primary"/>

CQ:LISTENERS
<cq:listeners
    jcr:primaryType="cq:EditListenersConfig"
    afterdelete="REFRESH_PAGE"
    afteredit="REFRESH_PAGE"
    afterinsert="REFRESH_PAGE"
    afterMove="REFRESH_PAGE"/>
