* <li>Dispatch listener - listener, which implements <code>{ModelName}Listener</code> interface,
* which has dispatch methods for each defined notification. Methods are invoked based on notification type (class).
* </li>
+ * </ul>
*
* <h3>Generic Listener</h3>
+ *
* <p>
* A generic listener implements the {@link NotificationListener} interface which has one callback method
* <code>onNotification</code> that is invoked for any notification type the listener is subscribed to.
+ *
* <p>
* A generic listener is subscribed using the {@link #registerNotificationListener(Class, NotificationListener)}
* method by which you specify the type of notification to receive. A generic listener may be registered for
* multiple notification types via multiple subscriptions.
+ *
* <p>
* Generic listeners allow for a more flexible approach, allowing you to subscribe for just
* one type of notification from a YANG model. You could also have a general subscription
* </pre>
*
* <h3>Dispatch Listener</h3>
+ *
* <p>
* A dispatch listener implements a YANG-generated module interface <code>{ModuleName}Listener</code>
* which handles all the notifications defined in the YANG model. Each notification type translates to
* a specific method of the form <code>on{NotificationType}</code> on the generated interface.
* The generated interface also extends the
* {@link org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.NotificationListener} interface and implementations
- * are registered using {@link #registerNotificationListener(org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.NotificationListener)}
- * method.
+ * are registered using
+ * {@link #registerNotificationListener(org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.binding.NotificationListener)} method.
+ *
+ * <h4>Dispatch Listener Example</h4>
*
- * <h5>Dispatch Listener Example</h5>
* <p>
* Lets assume we have following YANG model:
*
- * <pre>
+ * {@code
* module example {
* ...
*
* ...
* }
* }
- * </pre>
+ * }
*
+ * <p>
* The generated interface will be:
- * <pre>
+ * {@code
* public interface ExampleListener extends NotificationListener {
* void onStart(Start notification);
* void onStop(Stop notification);
* }
- * </pre>
+ * }
* The following defines an implementation of the generated interface:
- * <pre>
+ * {@code
* public class MyExampleListener implements ExampleListener {
* public void onStart(Start notification) {
* // do something
* // do something
* }
* }
- * </pre>
+ * }
* The implementation is registered as follows:
- * <pre>
+ * {@code
* MyExampleListener listener = new MyExampleListener();
* ListenerRegistration<NotificationListener> reg = service.registerNotificationListener( listener );
- * </pre>
+ * }
* The <code>onStart</code> method will be invoked when someone publishes a <code>Start</code> notification and
* the <code>onStop</code> method will be invoked when someone publishes a <code>Stop</code> notification.
*
