Module org.refcodes.eventbus

Package org.refcodes.eventbus

package org.refcodes.eventbus

This artifacts implements a lightweight infrastructure for event based decoupled communication. This is achieved by implementing the Observer pattern combined with the Publish–subscribe pattern, ending up being a Message broker for events.

Please refer to the refcodes-eventbus: Observer + Publish/Subscribe = Message broker documentation for an up-to-date and detailed description on the usage of this artifact.

Class	Description
AbstractEventBus<EVT extends EventBrokerEvent<?>,O extends org.refcodes.observer.Observer<EVT>,MATCH extends EventBrokerEventMatcher<EVT>,META extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMetaData,H>	The Class AbstractEventBus.
DispatchStrategy	The DispatchStrategy defines how child events are published within a parent event publish cycle.
DispatchStrategyAccessor	Provides an accessor for a DispatchStrategy property.
DispatchStrategyAccessor.DispatchStrategyMutator	Provides a mutator for a DispatchStrategy property.
DispatchStrategyAccessor.DispatchStrategyProperty	Provides a DispatchStrategy property.
EventBroker<EVT extends EventBrokerEvent<?>,MATCH extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMatcher<EVT>>	Ready to implement vanilla plain EventBroker.
EventBrokerEvent<SRC>	Specialization of the EventDispatcherEvent to be used with the EventBroker.
EventBrokerEventMatcher<EVT extends EventBrokerEvent<?>>	A convenience definition of an EventMatcher for the ready to use out of the box EventBus implementation of the generic EventDispatcher definition.
EventBus	The EventBus defines a predefined EventDispatcher tailored to use the MetaDataActionEvent as event type to use.
EventBusEvent	Intuitive Meta-Class for the MetaDataActionEvent as used by the EventBus.
EventBusEvent.Builder	Builder to build EventBusEvent.
EventBusEventMatcher	A convenience definition of an EventMatcher for the ready to use out of the box EventBus implementation of the generic EventDispatcher definition.
EventBusObservable<E extends org.refcodes.observer.Event<?>,O extends org.refcodes.observer.Observer<E>,MATCH extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMatcher<E>,H>	The Observable part of the EventDispatcher provides means to register Observer instances.
EventBusObserver	A convenience definition of an Observer for the ready to use out of the box EventBus implementation of the generic EventDispatcher definition.
EventBusPublisher<E extends org.refcodes.observer.Event<?>>	The EventBusPublisher defines methods to publish events as of Publisher.publishEvent(Event) and to test beforehand if there is a consumer for a given event as of Matchable.isMatching(Object).
EventBusSugar	Declarative syntactic sugar which may be statically imported in order to allow declarative definitions for the EventBusEventMatcher elements.
EventBusSugar.CatchAllEventBusMatcher
EventBusSugar.CatchNoneEventBusMatcher
EventDispatcher<E extends org.refcodes.observer.Event<?>,O extends org.refcodes.observer.Observer<E>,MATCH extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMatcher<E>,META extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMetaData,H>	The EventDispatcher is the (virtual) machine wide manager for ActionEvent handling.
EventDispatcherEvent<A,META extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMetaData,SRC>	Intuitive Meta-Interface for the MetaDataActionEvent as used by the EventBus.
EventDispatcherEvent.EventDispatcherEventBuilder<A,META extends org.refcodes.observer.EventMetaData,SRC extends EventDispatcher<?,?,?,?,?>,B extends EventDispatcherEvent.EventDispatcherEventBuilder<A,META,SRC,B>>	Intuitive Meta-Interface for the EventDispatcherEvent.EventDispatcherEventBuilder as used by the EventDispatcher.
