i need hook catch id , call external service verify if id status ok. have read lot svn structure , hooks don´t understand how write hook in java.

a hook is executable program placed in specific place accepts specific arguments. language in doesn't matter.

in case if you're trying write in java , run on windows need write .bat file , install under hooks directory proper name. you'll need pass through arguments batch file receives java program.
