of all JavaBeans™

Returns an array of all the objects currently registered as
FooListeners
upon this model.
FooListeners
are registered using the addFooListener method.


You can specify the listenerType argument
with a class literal, such as FooListener.class.
For example, you can query a list model
m
for its list data listeners
with the following code:

ListDataListener[] ldls = (ListDataListener[])(m.getListeners(ListDataListener.class));

If no such listeners exist,
this method returns an empty array.

Params:
  • listenerType –  the type of listeners requested;
         this parameter should specify an interface
         that descends from java.util.EventListener
Throws:
  • ClassCastException – if listenerType doesn't
         specify a class or interface that implements
         java.util.EventListener
See Also:
Returns:an array of all objects registered as
         FooListeners
