+ * Two styles of listeners are supported: + *
{ModelName}Listener
interface,
+ * which has dispatch methods for each defined notification. Methods are invoked based on notification type (class).
+ *
+ * A generic listener implements the {@link NotificationListener} interface which has one callback method
+ * onNotification
that is invoked for any notification type the listener is subscribed to.
+ *
+ *
+ * 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. + * + *
+ * 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 + * for all notification in the system via + *
+ * service.registerNotificationListener(Notification.class, listener); + *+ * + *
+ * A dispatch listener implements a YANG-generated module interface {ModuleName}Listener
+ * which handles all the notifications defined in the YANG model. Each notification type translates to
+ * a specific method of the form on{NotificationType}
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.
+ *
+ *
+ * Lets assume we have following YANG model: + * + * {@code + * module example { + * ... + * + * notification start { + * ... + * } + * + * notification stop { + * ... + * } + * } + * } + * + *
+ * The generated interface will be:
+ * {@code
+ * public interface ExampleListener extends NotificationListener {
+ * void onStart(Start notification);
+ * void onStop(Stop notification);
+ * }
+ * }
+ * The following defines an implementation of the generated interface:
+ * {@code
+ * public class MyExampleListener implements ExampleListener {
+ * public void onStart(Start notification) {
+ * // do something
+ * }
+ *
+ * public void onStop(Stop notification) {
+ * // do something
+ * }
+ * }
+ * }
+ * The implementation is registered as follows:
+ * {@code
+ * MyExampleListener listener = new MyExampleListener();
+ * ListenerRegistrationonStart
method will be invoked when someone publishes a Start
notification and
+ * the onStop
method will be invoked when someone publishes a Stop
notification.
+ *
+ * @deprecated Please use {@link org.opendaylight.controller.md.sal.binding.api.NotificationService} instead.
