All Implemented Interfaces:

public final class SettingStoreEvent
extends java.util.EventObject

A SettingStoreEvent holds information regarding the change of a single attribute inside the setting store. The change can be one of the following:

• attribute added - getOldValue() returns null, getNewValue() returns a String other than null
• attribute modified - getOldValue() and getNewValue() return a String other than null
• attribute removed - getOldValue() returns a String other than null, getNewValue() returns null

Note: Clients are responsible for using the getAttributeName() method, to check if the changed attribute is of interest to them.
