the client application.. that consumes this events dont really need this method as like in the example you implement TYPE as static.. e point it to the EventBus..
but i guess the GWT framework uses it anyway.. suppose that i provide you a framework and want to obligate you to implement a method that i use in the framework logic.. and cant know previously what you will implement .. a good way to do it.. its obligate to implement the method.. via interface.. or abstract method maybe opening the eventhandler source?? (but if you find out its useless, dont forget to let me know) :) Regards, Fabio Kaminski On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 7:33 PM, scope <sdco...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey there- > > I've been slowly going through all the GWT tutorials in an effort to > understand the capabilities of the tool. > > Could someone please explain why the GwtEvent<T> subclasses from the > MVP article override getAssociatedType()? > > The article and code samples can be found here: > > http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/mvp-architecture.html > > An example from EditContactEvent.java is: > > @Override > public Type<EditContactEventHandler> getAssociatedType() { > return TYPE; > } > > Is this necessary?
