package javax.naming.event;

import javax.naming.Binding;

/**
  * This class represents an event fired by a naming/directory service.
  *<p>
  * The <tt>NamingEvent's state consists of
  * <ul>
  * <li>The event source: the EventContext which fired this event.
  * <li>The event type.
  * <li>The new binding: information about the object after the change.
  * <li>The old binding: information about the object before the change.
  * <li>Change information: information about the change
  * that triggered this event; usually service provider-specific or server-specific
  * information.
  * </ul>
  * <p>
  * Note that the event source is always the same <tt>EventContext
  * <em>instance  that the listener has registered with.
  * Furthermore, the names of the bindings in
  * the <tt>NamingEvent are always relative to that instance.
  * For example, suppose a listener makes the following registration:
  *<blockquote>
  *     NamespaceChangeListener listener = ...;
  *     src.addNamingListener("x", SUBTREE_SCOPE, listener);
  *</pre>
  * When an object named "x/y" is subsequently deleted, the corresponding
  * <tt>NamingEvent (evt) must contain:
  *<blockquote>
  *     evt.getEventContext() == src
  *     evt.getOldBinding().getName().equals("x/y")
  *</pre>
  *
  * Care must be taken when multiple threads are accessing the same
  * <tt>EventContext concurrently.
  * See the
  * <a href=package-summary.html#THREADING>package description
  * for more information on threading issues.
