getChangeSupport
Description copied from class:AbstractChangeable
Called to retrieve the ChangeSupport for this object.Your implementation of this method should have the following structure:
It is usual for the forwarding listeners (someForwarder in this example) to be transient and lazily instantiated. Be sure to register invalid input: '&' unregister the forwarder in the code that does the ChangeEvent handling in setter methods.ChangeSupport cs = super.getChangeSupport(ct); if(someForwarder == null invalid input: '&'invalid input: '&' ct.isMatching(SomeInterface.SomeChangeType)) { someForwarder = new ChangeForwarder(... this.stateVariable.addChangeListener(someForwarder, VariableInterface.AChange); } return cs;
