@EventHandler for base abstract events about gwteventbinder HOT 4 CLOSED

We had a similar feature in the generator but didn't release as part of open source release because that kind of behavior is better implemented at EventBus level. It shouldn't be a responsibility of @eventhandler code generator. If you like, you can send a patch for the custom EventBus that provides such behavior.

Thanks for replying.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it's not clear to me how an EventBus implementation could do this -- it wouldn't have access to an Event's type hierarchy at run-time.

Could you elaborate?

Sorry, it may not be obvious. Here how you can do it:
On fire event, it can get the parent class of the event and then get the
corresponding event type and then re-fire the event with parent event type
(recursively).

I agree with Goktug that this library is probably best off as a very thin wrapper around the existing event handling system that doesn't try to add new features. You might also be interested in checking out one of my other experimental projects at https://github.com/ekuefler/gwt-supereventbus, which provides a more powerful event bus to GWT that implements a feature like the polymorphism you suggest here.
