public class AWTEventMulticaster
extends Object
implements ComponentListener, ContainerListener, FocusListener, KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, WindowListener, WindowFocusListener, WindowStateListener, ActionListener, ItemListener, AdjustmentListener, TextListener, InputMethodListener, HierarchyListener, HierarchyBoundsListener, MouseWheelListener
```
AWTEventMulticaster implements efficient and thread-safe multi-cast event dispatching for the AWT events defined in the java.awt.event package.
The following example illustrates how to use this class:
```
 public myComponent extends Component {
     ActionListener actionListener = null;

     public synchronized void addActionListener(ActionListener l) {
         actionListener = AWTEventMulticaster.add(actionListener, l);
     }
     public synchronized void removeActionListener(ActionListener l) {
         actionListener = AWTEventMulticaster.remove(actionListener, l);
     }
     public void processEvent(AWTEvent e) {
         // when event occurs which causes "action" semantic
         ActionListener listener = actionListener;
         if (listener != null) {
             listener.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent());
         }
     }
 }
 
```
The important point to note is the first argument to the add and remove methods is the field maintaining the listeners. In addition you must assign the result of the add and remove methods to the field maintaining the listeners.
AWTEventMulticaster is implemented as a pair of EventListeners that are set at construction time. AWTEventMulticaster is immutable. The add and remove methods do not alter AWTEventMulticaster in anyway. If necessary, a new AWTEventMulticaster is created. In this way it is safe to add and remove listeners during the process of an event dispatching. However, event listeners added during the process of an event dispatch operation are not notified of the event currently being dispatched.
All of the add methods allow null arguments. If the first argument is null, the second argument is returned. If the first argument is not null and the second argument is null, the first argument is returned. If both arguments are non-null, a new AWTEventMulticaster is created using the two arguments and returned.
For the remove methods that take two arguments, the following is returned:
- null, if the first argument is null, or the arguments are equal, by way of ==.
- the first argument, if the first argument is not an instance of AWTEventMulticaster.
- result of invoking remove(EventListener) on the first argument, supplying the second argument to the remove(EventListener) method.
Swing makes use of EventListenerList for similar logic. Refer to it for details.

```
    Creates an event multicaster instance which chains listener-a with listener-b. Input parameters a and b should not be null, though implementations may vary in choosing whether or not to throw NullPointerException in that case.

  - remove
```
protected EventListener remove(EventListener oldl)
```
    Removes a listener from this multicaster.
    The returned multicaster contains all the listeners in this multicaster with the exception of all occurrences of oldl. If the resulting multicaster contains only one regular listener the regular listener may be returned. If the resulting multicaster is empty, then null may be returned instead.
    No exception is thrown if oldl is null.

```
    Returns an array of all the objects chained as FooListeners by the specified java.util.EventListener. FooListeners are chained by the AWTEventMulticaster using the addFooListener method. If a null listener is specified, this method returns an empty array. If the specified listener is not an instance of AWTEventMulticaster, this method returns an array which contains only the specified listener. If no such listeners are chained, this method returns an empty array.
    
    Parameters:
    
    l - the specified java.util.EventListener
    
    listenerType - the type of listeners requested; this parameter should specify an interface that descends from java.util.EventListener
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of all objects chained as FooListeners by the specified multicast listener, or an empty array if no such listeners have been chained by the specified multicast listener
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified listenertype parameter is null
    
    ClassCastException - if listenerType doesn't specify a class or interface that implements java.util.EventListener
