Interactors and MouseEvents

[Baron, Randy {PRG~Basel}]

hi-   I'm trying to figure out how to use the Interactors (and why actually, instead of just using listeners).  I made a small test class that displays an svg document (a couple of circles) and adds a custom Interactor.  I wanted to print out some info when I clicked on the JSVGCanvas, like what Element was clicked on.  I did this before in a different way, by adding listeners to the JSVGCanvas (snippet below).  I was wondering if the same info could be obtained from within the Interactor context (some kind of 'casting' java.awt.event.MouseEvent into an org.w3c.dom.events.MouseEvent)?    In the end I need to write a program that displays svg elements (no big surprise) and allows the user to modify them (location or other properties) and so need to know what element is clicked on.   -Randy     --------------------------- Snippet of code to get info about object clicked on:    public void registerListeners() {         Element maindoc = (Element)  document.getDocumentElement();         EventTarget doctarg = (EventTarget) maindoc;         doctarg.addEventListener("click", new OnMouseClick(), false);  }   /** Prints out some info about what was clicked on */   public class OnMouseClick implements EventListener {         public void handleEvent(Event evt) {             int mx, my;             int sx, sy;             Element svgRoot = document.getDocumentElement();             String svgNS = SVGDOMImplementation.SVG_NAMESPACE_URI;               MouseEvent mevt = (MouseEvent) evt;             mx = mevt.getClientX();             my = mevt.getClientY();             sx = mevt.getScreenX();             sy = mevt.getScreenY();               SVGElement targ = (SVGElement) mevt.getTarget();               System.out.println("   Mouse X:" + mx + " Y: " + my);             System.out.println("   in screen coordinates - x: " + sx + " y: " + sy);             System.out.println("   Type of event: " + mevt.getType());             System.out.println("   getTarget: " + mevt.getTarget());             System.out.println("   getCurrentTarget: " + mevt.getCurrentTarget());             System.out.println("   Element id = " + targ.getId());                 if (targ instanceof org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SVGOMTextElement) {                 double maxX, maxY, minX, minY;                 int rx, ry, rw, rh;                                 SVGOMTextElement ttarg = (SVGOMTextElement) targ;                 SVGRect rectsiz = new AnSVGRect();                                 System.out.println("HIT SOME TEXT");                 NodeList nlist = targ.getChildNodes();                 System.out.println(" text node length: " +  nlist.getLength());                 System.out.println(" text node item: " + " ele: " + nlist.item(1));          //   ....etc.
