24 * Registers a {@link DOMDataTreeChangeListener} to receive
25 * notifications when data changes under a given path in the conceptual data
29 * You are able to register for notifications for any node or subtree
30 * which can be represented using {@link YangInstanceIdentifier}.
33 * You are able to register for data change notifications for a subtree or leaf
34 * even if it does not exist. You will receive notification once that node is
38 * If there is any pre-existing data in data tree on path for which you are
39 * registering, you will receive initial data change event, which will
40 * contain all pre-existing data, marked as created.
43 * This method returns a {@link ListenerRegistration} object. To
44 * "unregister" your listener for changes call the {@link ListenerRegistration#close()}
45 * method on this returned object.
48 * You MUST explicitly unregister your listener when you no longer want to receive
49 * notifications. This is especially true in OSGi environments, where failure to
50 * do so during bundle shutdown can lead to stale listeners being still registered.
53 * Data tree identifier of the subtree which should be watched for
56 * Listener instance which is being registered
57 * @return Listener registration object, which may be used to unregister
58 * your listener using {@link ListenerRegistration#close()} to stop
59 * delivery of change events.
