29 * Specifies the methods that a listener interested in namespace changes
30 * must implement.
31 * Specifically, the listener is interested in <tt>NamingEvent</tt>s
32 * with event types of <tt>OBJECT_ADDED</TT>, <TT>OBJECT_RENAMED</TT>, or
33 * <TT>OBJECT_REMOVED</TT>.
34 *<p>
35 * Such a listener must:
36 *<ol>
37 *<li>Implement this interface and its methods.
38 *<li>Implement <tt>NamingListener.namingExceptionThrown()</tt> so that
39 * it will be notified of exceptions thrown while attempting to
40 * collect information about the events.
41 *<li>Register with the source using the source's <tt>addNamingListener()</tt>
42 * method.
43 *</ol>
44 * A listener that wants to be notified of <tt>OBJECT_CHANGED</tt> event types
45 * should also implement the <tt>ObjectChangeListener</tt>
46 * interface.
