Interface implemented by an MBean that emits Notifications. It allows a listener to be registered with the MBean as a notification listener.

New code should use the NotificationEmitter interface instead.

@since
1.5

Parameters
listenerThe listener object which will handle the notifications emitted by the broadcaster.
filterThe filter object. If filter is null, no filtering will be performed before handling notifications.

Throws

Returns an array indicating, for each notification this MBean may send, the name of the Java class of the notification and the notification type.

It is not illegal for the MBean to send notifications not described in this array. However, some clients of the MBean server may depend on the array being complete for their correct functioning.

Return
the array of possible notifications.
Removes a listener from this MBean. If the listener has been registered with different handback objects or notification filters, all entries corresponding to the listener will be removed.
Parameters
listenerA listener that was previously added to this MBean.
Throws
ListenerNotFoundExceptionThe listener is not registered with the MBean.
