Package org.djutils.event

Class TimedEvent<T extends Comparable<T> & Serializable>

java.lang.Object

org.djutils.event.Event

org.djutils.event.TimedEvent<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the Comparable type that represents time

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<TimedEvent<T>>

public class TimedEvent<T extends Comparable<T> & Serializable>
extends Event
implements Comparable<TimedEvent<T>>

The TimedEvent is the reference implementation for a timed event. Because events are often sent over the network, the interface demands that the event, content and timestamp are serializable. It is the repsonsibility of the programmer, though, that the fields of the content and timestamp are serializable as well.
