public class AWTEventMulticaster

extends Object

implements ComponentListener, ContainerListener, FocusListener, KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, WindowListener, WindowFocusListener, WindowStateListener, ActionListener, ItemListener, AdjustmentListener, TextListener, InputMethodListener, HierarchyListener, HierarchyBoundsListener, MouseWheelListener

A class which implements efficient and thread-safe multi-cast event dispatching for the AWT events defined in the java.awt.event package. This class will manage an immutable structure consisting of a chain of event listeners and will dispatch events to those listeners. Because the structure is immutable, it is safe to use this API to add/remove listeners during the process of an event dispatch operation. However, event listeners added during the process of an event dispatch operation will not be notified of the event currently being dispatched. An example of how this class could be used to implement a new component which fires "action" events:

 public myComponent extends Component {
     ActionListener actionListener = null;

     public synchronized void addActionListener(ActionListener l) {
	   actionListener = AWTEventMulticaster.add(actionListener, l);
     }
     public synchronized void removeActionListener(ActionListener l) {
  	   actionListener = AWTEventMulticaster.remove(actionListener, l);
     }
     public void processEvent(AWTEvent e) {
         // when event occurs which causes "action" semantic
         ActionListener listener = actionListener;
         if (listener != null) {
             listener.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent());
         }
     }
 }

protected static EventListener addInternal(EventListener a,
                                           EventListener b)

Returns the resulting multicast listener from adding listener-a and listener-b together. If listener-a is null, it returns listener-b; If listener-b is null, it returns listener-a If neither are null, then it creates and returns a new AWTEventMulticaster instance which chains a with b.

Parameters:

                                              EventListener oldl)

Returns the resulting multicast listener after removing the old listener from listener-l. If listener-l equals the old listener OR listener-l is null, returns null. Else if listener-l is an instance of AWTEventMulticaster, then it removes the old listener from it. Else, returns listener l.

Parameters:

l - the listener being removed from

oldl - the listener being removed

saveInternal

protected void saveInternal(ObjectOutputStream s,
                            String k)
                     throws IOException

Throws:

getListeners

public static EventListener[] getListeners(EventListener l,
                                           Class listenerType)

Returns an array of all the objects chained as FooListeners by the specified java.util.EventListener. FooListeners are chained by the AWTEventMulticaster using the addFooListener method. If a null listener is specified, this method returns an empty array. If the specified listener is not an instance of AWTEventMulticaster, this method returns an array which contains only the specified listener. If no such listeners are chanined, this method returns an empty array.

Parameters:

l - the specified java.util.EventListener

listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener

Returns:

an array of all objects chained as FooListeners by the specified multicast listener, or an empty array if no such listeners have been chained by the specified multicast listener

Throws:

ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener
