public interface NotificationEmitter extends NotificationBroadcaster
Interface implemented by an MBean that emits Notifications. It allows a listener to be registered with the MBean as a notification listener.
When an MBean emits a notification, it considers each listener that has been
added with addNotificationListener and not
subsequently removed with removeNotificationListener.
If a filter was provided with that listener, and if the filter's
isNotificationEnabled method returns
false, the listener is ignored. Otherwise, the listener's
handleNotification method is called with
the notification, as well as the handback object that was provided to
addNotificationListener.
If the same listener is added more than once, it is considered as many times as it was added. It is often useful to add the same listener with different filters or handback objects.
Implementations of this interface can differ regarding the thread in which the methods of filters and listeners are called.
If the method call of a filter or listener throws an Exception, then that
exception should not prevent other listeners from being invoked. However, if the method
call throws an Error, then it is recommended that processing of the notification
stop at that point, and if it is possible to propagate the Error to the sender of
the notification, this should be done.
This interface should be used by new code in preference to the
NotificationBroadcaster interface.
Implementations of this interface and of NotificationBroadcaster
should be careful about synchronization. In particular, it is not a good
idea for an implementation to hold any locks while it is calling a
listener. To deal with the possibility that the list of listeners might
change while a notification is being dispatched, a good strategy is to
use a CopyOnWriteArrayList for this list.

removeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener,

Object handback)
Removes a listener from this MBean.
|
addNotificationListener, getNotificationInfo, removeNotificationListenervoid removeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener, NotificationFilter filter, Object handback) throws ListenerNotFoundException
Removes a listener from this MBean. The MBean must have a
listener that exactly matches the given listener,
filter, and handback parameters. If
there is more than one such listener, only one is removed.
The filter and handback parameters
may be null if and only if they are null in a listener to be
removed.
listener - A listener that was previously added to this
MBean.filter - The filter that was specified when the listener
was added.handback - The handback that was specified when the listener was
added.ListenerNotFoundException - The listener is not
registered with the MBean, or it is not registered with the
given filter and handback. Submit a bug or feature
