Class DefaultObservable

java.lang.Object

org.jquantlib.util.DefaultObservable

All Implemented Interfaces:

Observable

Direct Known Subclasses:

WeakReferenceObservable

public class DefaultObservable
extends java.lang.Object
implements Observable

Default implementation of an Observable.

This implementation notifies the observers in a synchronous fashion. Note that this can cause trouble if you notify the observers while in a transactional context because once the notification is done it cannot be rolled back.
