Class ListenerManager

java.lang.Object

ucar.nc2.util.ListenerManager

@Deprecated
@ThreadSafe
public class ListenerManager
extends Object

Deprecated.

will move in ver 6

Helper class for managing event listeners. It is thread safe, but better not to be adding/deleting listeners while sending events. LOOK Probably could replace with guava eventbus Example:

  private void createListenerManager() {
    lm = new ListenerManager(
            "ucar.nc2.util.DatasetCollectionManager$EventListener",
            "ucar.nc2.util.DatasetCollectionManager$Event",
            "setMessage");
  }

  public void addEventListener(EventListener l) {
    lm.addListener(l);
  }

  public void removeEventListener(EventListener l) {
    lm.removeListener(l);
  }

  public class Event extends java.util.EventObject {
    private String message;

    Event(String message) {
      super(DatasetCollectionManager.this);
      this.message = message;
    }

    public String getMessage() {
      return message;
    }
  }

  public static interface EventListener {
    public void setMessage(DatasetCollectionManager.Event event);
  }

 lm.sendEvent(event);
