## Class BeanContextEvent

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.EventObject
  - - java.beans.beancontext.BeanContextEvent

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    BeanContextMembershipEvent, BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent, BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent

      public abstract class BeanContextEvent
      extends EventObject

  `BeanContextEvent` is the abstract root event class for all events emitted from, and pertaining to the semantics of, a `BeanContext`. This class introduces a mechanism to allow the propagation of `BeanContextEvent` subclasses through a hierarchy of `BeanContext`s. The `setPropagatedFrom()` and `getPropagatedFrom()` methods allow a `BeanContext` to identify itself as the source of a propagated event.
