Event (DJUTILS - Delft Java Utilities 1.06.25 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.djutils.event.AbstractEvent
- - org.djutils.event.Event

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, EventInterface
```
public class Event
extends AbstractEvent
```
The Event class forms the reference implementation for the EventInterface. Because events are often sent over the network, the interface demands that source of the event and its content are serializable. It is the responsibility of the programmer, though, that the fields of the sourceId and content are serializable as well.
