Class ApplicationEventMulticasterImpl

public class ApplicationEventMulticasterImpl

implements ApplicationEventMulticaster

Concrete implementation of ApplicationEventMulticaster Doesn't permit multiple instances of the same listener.

Note that this class doesn't try to do anything clever to ensure thread safety if listeners are added or removed at runtime. A technique such as Copy-on-Write (Lea:137) could be used to ensure this, but the assumption in this version of this framework is that listeners will be added at application configuration time and not added or removed as the application runs.

All listeners are invoked in the calling thread. This allows the danger of a rogue listener blocking the entire application, but adds minimal overhead.

An alternative implementation could be more sophisticated in both these respects.
