# Interface ObjectChangeListener

All Superinterfaces:
  `EventListener`, `NamingListener`

public interface ObjectChangeListener extends NamingListener
Specifies the method that a listener of a `NamingEvent` with event type of `OBJECT_CHANGED` must implement.

An `OBJECT_CHANGED` event type is fired when (the contents of) an object has changed. This might mean that its attributes have been modified, added, or removed, and/or that the object itself has been replaced. How the object has changed can be determined by examining the `NamingEvent`'s old and new bindings.

A listener interested in `OBJECT_CHANGED` event types must:

1. Implement this interface and its method (`objectChanged()`)
2. Implement `NamingListener.namingExceptionThrown()` so that it will be notified of exceptions thrown while attempting to collect information about the events.
3. Register with the source using the source's `addNamingListener()` method.

A listener that wants to be notified of namespace change events should also implement the `NamespaceChangeListener` interface.
