Class WrapperEvent

public abstract class WrapperEvent extends EventObject

WrapperEvents are used to notify WrapperEventListeners of various wrapper related events.

For performance reasons, some event instances may be reused by the code which fires them off. For this reason, references to the event should never be referenced outside the scope of the WrapperListener.processEvent method.
