All Superinterfaces:

EventListener, org.apache.wicket.util.io.IClusterable, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractListingPlugin, AbstractRenderService, BreadcrumbPlugin, BrowserPlugin, CompatibilityWorkflowPlugin, ExpandCollapseListingPlugin, JcrTreeModel, ListRenderService, ListViewPlugin, ListViewService, Observer, PanelPluginPerspective, Perspective, RenderPlugin, RenderService, TabsContainerService, TabsPlugin, TabsPlugin.Tab
```
public interface IObserver<T extends IObservable>
extends EventListener, org.apache.wicket.util.io.IClusterable
```
This interface defines the contract for a service that updates its internal state in response to changes in an observable object (IObservable). Instances should be registered as a service (IPluginContext.registerService(IClusterable, String)) with name IObserver.class.getName(). The observer registry will notify the observer of any events sent by the observable.

```
    Callback that is invoked when the observable sends events. The iterator is guaranteed to be non-empty.
