PortletEventListener Interface

public interface PortletEventListener
extends `AbstractEventListener`

This is a listener interface for receiving generic portlet events. Note: PortletEvents are not used or fired by the portal framework. The developer has sole use of these events.

The PortletEvent can carry a generic payload to be used as needed. You may also create your own events by extending AbstractEvent.

The class (typically a backing file) that is interested in processing portlet events implements this interface. The object created with that class is then registered with a control using the control's `addPortletEventListener` method. When the portlet event fires, the listener object's `handleEvent` method is invoked.

All Superinterfaces
  `AbstractEventListener`, `EventListener`, `Serializable`, `UIEventListener`
