Problem with class listening to different EventLists

[fritzr]

Hi together,
I've got a component which must listen to different eventLists.
It is not possible to implement the ListEventListener typed via generics interface more than once.
Therefore I added just one method (without generics), ask the event for the eventListSource, compare it to the different eventLists and call specific methods which handle the specific events.

If my if-clause says that the eventListSource is the eventList A than I call handleAEvent(...) method. In this method I try to retrieve the object either via event.getOldObject or via getIndex and get(index). My problem is, that sometimes i get objects of other lists...

Is my problem described clearly? Can anyone help me?
Here a code snipped...

dataManager.getFsrs().addListEventListener(this);
dataManager.getFsrFunctions().addListEventListener(this);
dataManager.getElements().addListEventListener(this);
...

public void listChanged(ListEvent event) {
                //Iterate through all list changes
                while (event.hasNext()) {
                        event.next(); //get the next change event
                        if (event.getSourceList().equals(dataManager.getListA())){
                                handleFsrListEvent(event);
                        }else if (event.getSource().equals(dataManager.getListB())){
                                handleFsrFunctionListEvent(event);
                        }else if (event.getSource().equals(dataManager.getListC())){
                                handleElementListEvent(event);
                        }
                }
        }

...

        private void handleFunctionListEvent(ListEvent<Function> event) {
                if (event.getType() == ListEvent.INSERT){
                        Function function = event.getSourceList().get(event.getIndex());
                        ElementRow<Function> functionRow = new ElementRow<Function>(function);
                        ElementRow parentRow = findRow(function.getElement());
                        addRow(parentRow, functionRow);
                } else if (event.getType() == ListEvent.DELETE){
                        Function function = event.getOldValue();
                        //SOMETIMES HERE I GOT OTHER VALUES THAN FUNCTIONS...
                        Row row = findRow(function);
                        removeRow(row);
                }
        }

Just a quick reply, possibly w/o any help!

Is your equals-method working for sure?

You could user inner classes for the problem you have, instead of doing this more hackish "routing"-stuff you do. Either anonymous classes, like directly in the code do 'new ListEventListener<Type>() { .. body ..}', or make inner classes (possibly "non-static", so that they have direct access to the enclosing class).

Kind regards,

Endre.

What are you trying to do? I think you have to refactor at some greater scope in your code.
Can't you divide the Handlers for the ListEvents in different classes?
