A listener watches for an event to be fired. The handler is responsible for dealing with the event. Normally, listeners and handlers go hand-in-hand. For example, the KeyListener tells the ExitHandler that "the letter Q was pressed" and the handler performs logic such as cleaning up resources and exiting the application gracefully. So, in this case you have two different events, two different listeners but a single handler. A listener is an object that is notified when an event occurs, and it has 2 major requirements- 1-it must have been registered with one or more sources to receive notifications about specific types of event 2-it must implements methods to receive and process these notifications.
Handler is responsible for dealing with events. A listener, listens for events which are data value objects which describe an event. When the event occurred and the order of events is often important. Pressing key '0' followed by '1' is different to '1' and '0'. A handler, handles a complex object e. The handler might process the object for any length of time. The time of object creation and order is not so important. A connection from client0 or client1 can happen in any order.
I think the difference is subtle because a concrete Listener is an event-handler too or at least has a method that can be considered an event-handler. That is, a concrete Listener handles or manages the reaction to the event after receiving an event object from the event-source with all the usefull informations about the event just occurred on the event-source.
As this Listener has to implement an xxxListener interface that forces him to implement at least one method that is in turn executed by the event-source object when the event occurs, so the Listener itself can be considered an handler and more precisely, the method of the Listener interface implemented by the Listener object can be considered the real event-handler. So i view the event-handler as just the code that is executed in reaction to an event.
This is different from a Listener object that is an element of a more abstract concept such as an Observer design pattern. This is my personal view of the subject. To my mind, the most important difference is fact that we use listeners per event's source, in contrary to handler, which is per event type.
They're conceptually the same thing - an object that performs some action in response to a UI event. Generally, in Swing, these objects are called "handlers" at the look-and-feel level for handling low-level widget events , and "listeners" at the more abstract UI level where you'll be implementing your application logic.
Whereas the Listener is borrowed for Observables, such as properties. I've been trying to make sense of all the info and I'm lost. So, after a month, this is the problem as I see it. I may be totally off track, so please tell me One event sender, one catcher as long as Sender registers the catcher. I have 4 dialog boxes that need to be updated each time a file whose handling code is in another module than the 4 dialog boxes changes.
I considered updating each the old-fashioned way, but then I looked at Delphi events and message handling. Let's see:. File F The Sender is finished reading and should notify Dialogs What is best?
Try to register Dialogs And I do wonder how the File block of code will be able to register 4 listeners the dialog boxes? What I am looking at is the possibility of cascade calling, meaning caller calls one listener, whom calls the next Collaborate here on code errors or bugs that you need feedback on, or asking for an extra set of eyes on your latest project.

One difference is that if you add two event handlers for the same button click, the second event handler will overwrite the first and only that event will trigger. For example:. Event listener basically waits for the call for the event and then notifies the handler when to initiate it. I'm assuming the above thing is the handler?
