Interface EventAggregator<Event,MergedEvent>

All Known Subinterfaces:

OrderedEventAggregator<Event,MergedEvent>

public interface EventAggregator<Event,MergedEvent>

The EventAggregator interface is used by the CustomDispatchSource objects to handle coalescing data before passing it to the application. Implementations of this class should be stateless to remain thread-safe. You can also use one of several built in implementations:

• EventAggregators.INTEGER_ADD
• EventAggregators.INTEGER_OR
• EventAggregators.LONG_ADD
• EventAggregators.LONG_OR
