Class Annotatable.AnnotationForwarder

java.lang.Object
org.biojava.utils.ChangeForwarder
org.biojava.bio.Annotatable.AnnotationForwarder
All Implemented Interfaces:
EventListener, ChangeListener
Enclosing interface:
Annotatable

Deprecated.
use new ChangeForwarder.Retyper(source, cs, Annotation.PROPERTY) instead

A helper class so that you don't have to worry about forwarding events from the Annotation object to the Annotatable one.

Once a listener is added to your Annotatable that is interested in ANNOTATION events, then instantiate one of these and add it as a listener to the annotation object. It will forward the events to your listeners and translate them accordingly.

This will ease the pain of letting your Annotatable tell its listeners about changes in the Annotation.

      Description copied from class: ChangeForwarder

      Return the new event to represent the originating event ce.

      The returned ChangeEvent is the event that will be fired, and should be built from information in the original event. If it is null, then no event will be fired.

      The default implementation just constructs a ChangeEvent of the same type that chains back to ce.

      Overrides:
      generateEvent in class ChangeForwarder
      Parameters:
      ce - the originating ChangeEvent
      Returns:
      a new ChangeEvent to pass on, or null if no event should be sent
