## javax.management
Class NotificationBroadcasterSupport

    java.lang.Object
      javax.management.NotificationBroadcasterSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:
  NotificationBroadcaster, NotificationEmitter

Direct Known Subclasses:
  JMXConnectorServer, Monitor, RelationService, Timer

    public class NotificationBroadcasterSupport

extends Object
implements NotificationEmitter

Provides an implementation of `NotificationEmitter` interface. This can be used as the super class of an MBean that sends notifications.

It is not specified whether the notification dispatch model is synchronous or asynchronous. That is, when a thread calls `sendNotification`, the `NotificationListener.handleNotification` method of each listener may be called within that thread (a synchronous model) or within some other thread (an asynchronous model).

Applications should not depend on notification dispatch being synchronous or being asynchronous. Thus:

- Applications should not assume a synchronous model. When the `sendNotification` method returns, it is not guaranteed that every listener's `handleNotification` method has been called. It is not guaranteed either that a listener will see notifications in the same order as they were generated. Listeners that depend on order should use the sequence number of notifications to determine their order (see `Notification.getSequenceNumber()`).
- Applications should not assume an asynchronous model. If the actions performed by a listener are potentially slow, the listener should arrange for them to be performed in another thread, to avoid holding up other listeners and the caller of `sendNotification`.

Since:
  1.5

Method Detail

### addNotificationListener

    public void addNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener,
                                        NotificationFilter filter,
                                        Object handback)

  Adds a listener.

  Specified by:
    `addNotificationListener` in interface `NotificationBroadcaster`
  Parameters:
    `listener` - The listener to receive notifications.
    `filter` - The filter object. If filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications.
    `handback` - An opaque object to be sent back to the listener when a notification is emitted. This object cannot be used by the Notification broadcaster object. It should be resent unchanged with the notification to the listener.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - thrown if the listener is null.
  See Also:
    `removeNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener)`

### removeNotificationListener

    public void removeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener)
                                    throws ListenerNotFoundException

  Description copied from interface: `NotificationBroadcaster`
  Removes a listener from this MBean. If the listener has been registered with different handback objects or notification filters, all entries corresponding to the listener will be removed.

  Specified by:
    `removeNotificationListener` in interface `NotificationBroadcaster`
  Parameters:
    `listener` - A listener that was previously added to this MBean.
  Throws:
    `ListenerNotFoundException` - The listener is not registered with the MBean.
  See Also:
    `NotificationBroadcaster.addNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object)`, `NotificationEmitter.removeNotificationListener(javax.management.NotificationListener, javax.management.NotificationFilter, java.lang.Object)`

### removeNotificationListener

    public void removeNotificationListener(NotificationListener listener,
                                           NotificationFilter filter,
                                           Object handback)
                                    throws ListenerNotFoundException

  Description copied from interface: `NotificationEmitter`

  Removes a listener from this MBean. The MBean must have a listener that exactly matches the given `listener`, `filter`, and `handback` parameters. If there is more than one such listener, only one is removed.

  The `filter` and `handback` parameters may be null if and only if they are null in a listener to be removed.

  Specified by:
    `removeNotificationListener` in interface `NotificationEmitter`
  Parameters:
    `listener` - A listener that was previously added to this MBean.
    `filter` - The filter that was specified when the listener was added.
    `handback` - The handback that was specified when the listener was added.
  Throws:
    `ListenerNotFoundException` - The listener is not registered with the MBean, or it is not registered with the given filter and handback.

### getNotificationInfo

    public MBeanNotificationInfo[] getNotificationInfo()

  Description copied from interface: `NotificationBroadcaster`

  Returns an array indicating, for each notification this MBean may send, the name of the Java class of the notification and the notification type.

  It is not illegal for the MBean to send notifications not described in this array. However, some clients of the MBean server may depend on the array being complete for their correct functioning.

  Specified by:
    `getNotificationInfo` in interface `NotificationBroadcaster`
  Returns:
    the array of possible notifications.

### sendNotification

    public void sendNotification(Notification notification)

  Sends a notification.

  Parameters:
    `notification` - The notification to send.

### handleNotification

    protected void handleNotification(NotificationListener listener,
                                      Notification notif,
                                      Object handback)

  This method is called by `sendNotification` for each listener in order to send the notification to that listener. It can be overridden in subclasses to change the behavior of notification delivery, for instance to deliver the notification in a separate thread.

  It is not guaranteed that this method is called by the same thread as the one that called `sendNotification`.

  The default implementation of this method is equivalent to

       listener.handleNotification(notif, handback);

  Parameters:
    `listener` - the listener to which the notification is being delivered.
    `notif` - the notification being delivered to the listener.
    `handback` - the handback object that was supplied when the listener was added.
