Class AsynchronousMulticaster<E>

java.lang.Object
  org.limewire.listener.AsynchronousMulticaster<E>

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventBroadcaster<E>, EventListener<E>, EventMulticaster<E>, ListenerSupport<E>

public class AsynchronousMulticaster<E>
extends Object
implements EventMulticaster<E>

An EventMulticaster that broadcasts all its events within an executor. This is useful if you want to asynchronously notify listeners about events (especially handy if the events are generated while holding a lock). If the executor is single-threaded, this can guarantee that all events are dispatched in the same order they were broadcast.
