Description copied from interface: EventHandler

Handle an event. Clients return an EventResult object that encapsulates the resulsts. If handleEvent() returns null, the PageBroker will simply redisplay the same page. Otherwise, the result will be passed to the PageFlowEngine to determine the Page to render.

Note: while the Page object is mutable, any calls that set properties, etc., will be ignored unless the Page is itself returned inside the EventResult.

Specified by:

handleEvent in interface EventHandler

Throws:
