## Class BeanContextMembershipEvent

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

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class BeanContextMembershipEvent
      extends BeanContextEvent

  A `BeanContextMembershipEvent` encapsulates the list of children added to, or removed from, the membership of a particular `BeanContext`. An instance of this event is fired whenever a successful add(), remove(), retainAll(), removeAll(), or clear() is invoked on a given `BeanContext` instance. Objects interested in receiving events of this type must implement the `BeanContextMembershipListener` interface, and must register their intent via the `BeanContext`'s `addBeanContextMembershipListener(BeanContextMembershipListener bcml)` method.
  Since:
    1.2
