Class WeakPropertyChangeListener

java.lang.Object

org.jhotdraw.beans.WeakPropertyChangeListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.beans.PropertyChangeListener, java.util.EventListener

public class WeakPropertyChangeListener
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.beans.PropertyChangeListener

Property change listener that holds weak reference to a target property change listener. If the weak reference becomes null (meaning the delegate has been GC'ed) then this listener will remove itself from any beans that it receives events from. It isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than nothing... and presumably beans that no longer send out events probably don't care if their listeners weren't properly cleaned up. Design pattern: Proxy.
