EventListener

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• EventListener is a tagging interface, meaning it has no methods and serves primarily as a marker.

• All event listener interfaces in Java must extend the EventListener interface.

• The primary purpose of EventListener is to identify classes as event listeners for specific events.

• Various Java APIs, such as those for database connectivity and beans, utilize event listeners extending EventListener for event handling.

public interface EventListener

Known Indirect Subclasses ConnectionEventListener, EventListenerProxy<T extends EventListener>, HandshakeCompletedListener, PropertyChangeListener, PropertyChangeListenerProxy, RowSetListener, SSLSessionBindingListener, StatementEventListener ConnectionEventListener An object that registers to be notified of events generated by a PooledConnection object.  EventListenerProxy<T extends EventListener> An abstract wrapper class for an EventListener class which associates a set of additional parameters with the listener.  HandshakeCompletedListener This interface is implemented by any class which wants to receive notifications about the completion of an SSL protocol handshake on a given SSL connection.  PropertyChangeListener A "PropertyChange" event gets fired whenever a bean changes a "bound" property.  PropertyChangeListenerProxy A class which extends the EventListenerProxy specifically for adding a PropertyChangeListener with a "bound" property.  RowSetListener An interface that must be implemented by a component that wants to be notified when a significant event happens in the life of a RowSet object.  SSLSessionBindingListener This interface is implemented by objects which want to know when they are being bound or unbound from a SSLSession.  StatementEventListener An object that registers to be notified of events that occur on PreparedStatements that are in the Statement pool.

A tagging interface that all event listener interfaces must extend.
