Class NotificationBroadcasterSupport

java.lang.Object
  extended byjavax.management.NotificationBroadcasterSupport
All Implemented Interfaces:
NotificationBroadcaster, NotificationEmitter
Direct Known Subclasses:
Monitor, RelationService, Timer

public class NotificationBroadcasterSupport
extends java.lang.Object
implements NotificationEmitter

Provides an implementation of NotificationEmitter interface. This can be used as the super class of an MBean that sends notifications.

It is not specified whether the notification dispatch model is synchronous or asynchronous. That is, when a thread calls sendNotification, the NotificationListener.handleNotification method of each listener may be called within that thread (a synchronous model) or within some other thread (an asynchronous model).

Applications should not depend on notification dispatch being synchronous or being asynchronous. Thus:

Method Detail

addNotificationListener

public void addNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener,
                                    NotificationFilter filter,
                                    java.lang.Object handback)
Adds a listener.

Specified by:
addNotificationListener in interface NotificationBroadcaster
Parameters:
listener - The listener to receive notifications.
filter - The filter object. If filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications.
handback - An opaque object to be sent back to the listener when a notification is emitted. This object cannot be used by the Notification broadcaster object. It should be resent unchanged with the notification to the listener.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - thrown if the istener is null.

removeNotificationListener

public void removeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener)
                                throws ListenerNotFoundException
Description copied from interface: NotificationBroadcaster
Removes a listener from this MBean. If the listener has been registered with different handback objects or notification filters, all entries corresponding to the listener will be removed.

Specified by:
removeNotificationListener in interface NotificationBroadcaster
Parameters:
listener - A listener that was previously added to this MBean.
Throws:
ListenerNotFoundException - The listener is not registered with the MBean.
See Also:
NotificationBroadcaster.addNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object), NotificationEmitter.removeNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object)

removeNotificationListener

public void removeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener,
                                       NotificationFilter filter,
                                       java.lang.Object handback)
                                throws ListenerNotFoundException
Description copied from interface: NotificationEmitter

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.

Specified by:
removeNotificationListener in interface NotificationEmitter
Parameters:
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.
Throws:
ListenerNotFoundException - The listener is not registered with the MBean, or it is not registered with the given filter and handback.

getNotificationInfo

public MBeanNotificationInfo[] getNotificationInfo()
Description copied from interface: NotificationBroadcaster

Returns an array indicating, for each notification this MBean may send, the name of the Java class of the notification and the notification type.

It is not illegal for the MBean to send notifications not described in this array. However, some clients of the MBean server may depend on the array being complete for their correct functioning.

Specified by:
getNotificationInfo in interface NotificationBroadcaster
Returns:
the array of possible notifications.

sendNotification

public void sendNotification(Notification notification)
Sends a notification.

Parameters:
notification - The notification to send.

handleNotification

protected void handleNotification(NotificationListener listener,
                                  Notification notif,
                                  java.lang.Object handback)

This method is called by sendNotification for each listener in order to send the notification to that listener. It can be overridden in subclasses to change the behaviour of notification delivery, for instance to deliver the notification in a separate thread.

It is not guaranteed that this method is called by the same thread as the one that called sendNotification.

The default implementation of this method is equivalent to

 listener.handleNotification(notif, handback);
 

Parameters:
listener - the listener to which the notification is being delivered.
notif - the notification being delivered to the listener.
handback - the handback object that was supplied when the listener was added.
