Delegation Event Model Java

The Delegation Event Model is the standard event handling mechanism in Java, utilized in AWT and Swing for user interactions. It involves an event source generating an event object, which is then processed by a registered event listener. This model promotes code reusability, maintainability, and cleaner event handling logic.

Delegation Event Model (Java)

The Delegation Event Model is the standard event handling mechanism in Java. It is used in AWT

and Swing to handle user interactions such as button clicks, key presses, and mouse movements.

How It Works:

1. Event Source: The GUI component that generates an event (e.g., button, text field).

2. Event Object: An instance of a class derived from java.util.EventObject that contains information

about the event.

3. Event Listener: An interface with methods to handle specific types of events.

Process Flow:

- A user interacts with a GUI component (event source).

- The event source creates an event object.

- The event is delegated to the registered listener.

- The listener processes the event using its callback methods.

Advantages:

- Promotes separation of concerns.

- Reusable and maintainable code.

- Cleaner event handling logic.

Example:

button.addActionListener(new MyListener());

(Where MyListener is a class that implements ActionListener)
