Class SimMultiCastEvent

java.lang.Object
  jas.events.SimEvent
      jas.events.SimCollectionEvent
          jas.events.SimMultiCastEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class SimMultiCastEvent
extends SimCollectionEvent

This event is able to inform different kind objects at the same time. It is like an information broadcasting service. After it is defined any object implementing the ISimEventListener interface can register itself to this information service. At event time each registered listener will be informed.

Warning: This type of event cannot support the late binding call method.
