public class EventSetDescriptor extends FeatureDescriptor
The given group of events are all delivered as method calls on a single event listener interface, and an event listener object can be registered via a call on a registration method supplied by the event source.
| Constructor and Description |

| EventSetDescriptor(Class<?> sourceClass,
                  String eventSetName,
                  Class<?> listenerType,
                  String listenerMethodName)Creates an EventSetDescriptor assuming that you are
 following the most simple standard design pattern where a named
 event "fred" is (1) delivered as a call on the single method of
 interface FredListener, (2) has a single argument of type FredEvent,
 and (3) where the FredListener may be registered with a call on an
 addFredListener method of the source component and removed with a
 call on a removeFredListener method. |
