Constructor Detail

WeakListener

protected WeakListener(Class listenerClass,
                       EventListener l)

Deprecated.

Parameters:

listenerClass - class/interface of the listener

l - listener to delegate to, l must be an instance of listenerClass

Method Detail

setSource

protected final void setSource(Object source)

Deprecated.

Setter for the source field. If a WeakReference to an underlying listener is cleared and enqueued, that is, the original listener is garbage collected, then the source field is used for deregistration of this WeakListener, thus making it eligible for garbage collection if no more references exist. This method is particularly useful in cases where the underlying listener was garbage collected and the event source, on which this listener is listening on, is quiet, i.e. does not fire any events for long periods. In this case, this listener is not removed from the event source until an event is fired. If the source field is set however, org.openide.util.WeakListeners that lost their underlying listeners are removed as soon as the ReferenceQueue notifies the WeakListener.

Parameters:

source - is any Object or null, though only setting an object that has an appropriate remove*listenerClass*Listener method and on which this listener is listening on, is useful.

removeMethodName

protected abstract String removeMethodName()

Deprecated.

Method name to use for removing the listener.

Returns:

name of method of the source object that should be used to remove the listener from listening on source of events

get

protected final EventListener get(EventObject ev)

Deprecated.

Getter for the target listener.

Parameters:

ev - the event the we want to distribute

Returns:

null if there is no listener because it has been finalized

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
