Type Parameters:
E - The matchee type.

All Known Subinterfaces:
MetaDataEventMatcher<E>
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractEventMatcher, ActionEqualWithEventMatcher, AliasEqualWithEventMatcher, CatchAllEventMatcher, CatchNoneEventMatcher, ChannelEqualWithEventMatcher, GroupEqualWithEventMatcher, PublisherIsAssignableFromMatcher, UniversalIdEqualWithEventMatcher
public interface EventMatcher<E extends GenericEvent<?>> extends org.refcodes.matcher.Matcher<E>
This interface typifies the Matcher interface for the usage with GenericActionEvent instances. An EventMatcher most commonly uses the EventMetaData (as defined with the GenericMetaDataEvent) in order to determine whether an GenericActionEvent matches EventMetaData properties or not.
