/**
 * The <code>EventHandler</code> class provides
 * support for dynamically generating event listeners whose methods
 * execute a simple statement involving an incoming event object
 * and a target object.
 * <p>
 * The <code>EventHandler</code> class is intended to be used by interactive tools, such as
 * application builders, that allow developers to make connections between
 * beans. Typically connections are made from a user interface bean
 * (the event <em>source</em>)
 * to an application logic bean (the <em>target</em>). The most effective
 * connections of this kind isolate the application logic from the user
 * interface.  For example, the <code>EventHandler</code> for a
 * connection from a <code>JCheckBox</code> to a method
 * that accepts a boolean value can deal with extracting the state
 * of the check box and passing it directly to the method so that
 * the method is isolated from the user interface layer.
 * <p>
 * Inner classes are another, more general way to handle events from
 * user interfaces.  The <code>EventHandler</code> class
 * handles only a subset of what is possible using inner
 * classes. However, <code>EventHandler</code> works better
 * with the long-term persistence scheme than inner classes.
 * Also, using <code>EventHandler</code> in large applications in
 * which the same interface is implemented many times can
 * reduce the disk and memory footprint of the application.
 * <p>
 * The reason that listeners created with <code>EventHandler</code>
 * have such a small
 * footprint is that the <code>Proxy</code> class, on which
 * the <code>EventHandler</code> relies, shares implementations
 * of identical
 * interfaces. For example, if you use
 * the <code>EventHandler</code> <code>create</code> methods to make
 * all the <code>ActionListener</code>s in an application,
 * all the action listeners will be instances of a single class
 * (one created by the <code>Proxy</code> class).
 * In general, listeners based on
 * the <code>Proxy</code> class require one listener class
 * to be created per <em>listener type</em> (interface),
 * whereas the inner class
 * approach requires one class to be created per <em>listener</em>
 * (object that implements the interface).
 *
 * <p>
 * You don't generally deal directly with <code>EventHandler</code>
 * instances.
 * Instead, you use one of the <code>EventHandler</code>
 * <code>create</code> methods to create
 * an object that implements a given listener interface.
 * This listener object uses an <code>EventHandler</code> object
 * behind the scenes to encapsulate information about the
 * event, the object to be sent a message when the event occurs,
 * the message (method) to be sent, and any argument
 * to the method.
 * The following section gives examples of how to create listener
 * objects using the <code>create</code> methods.
 *
 * <h2>Examples of Using EventHandler</h2>
 *
 * The simplest use of <code>EventHandler</code> is to install
 * a listener that calls a method on the target object with no arguments.
 * In the following example we create an <code>ActionListener</code>
 * that invokes the <code>toFront</code> method on an instance
 * of <code>javax.swing.JFrame</code>.
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
 *myButton.addActionListener(
 *    (ActionListener)EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, frame, "toFront"));
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * When <code>myButton</code> is pressed, the statement
 * <code>frame.toFront()</code> will be executed.  One could get
 * the same effect, with some additional compile-time type safety,
 * by defining a new implementation of the <code>ActionListener</code>
 * interface and adding an instance of it to the button:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
//Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
 *myButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
 *    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 *        frame.toFront();
 *    }
 *});
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * The next simplest use of <code>EventHandler</code> is
 * to extract a property value from the first argument
 * of the method in the listener interface (typically an event object)
 * and use it to set the value of a property in the target object.
 * In the following example we create an <code>ActionListener</code> that
 * sets the <code>nextFocusableComponent</code> property of the target
 * (myButton) object to the value of the "source" property of the event.
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
 *EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, myButton, "nextFocusableComponent", "source")
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * This would correspond to the following inner class implementation:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
//Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
 *new ActionListener() {
 *    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 *        myButton.setNextFocusableComponent((Component)e.getSource());
 *    }
 *}
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * It's also possible to create an <code>EventHandler</code> that
 * just passes the incoming event object to the target's action.
 * If the fourth <code>EventHandler.create</code> argument is
 * an empty string, then the event is just passed along:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
 *EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, target, "doActionEvent", "")
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * This would correspond to the following inner class implementation:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
//Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
 *new ActionListener() {
 *    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 *        target.doActionEvent(e);
 *    }
 *}
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * Probably the most common use of <code>EventHandler</code>
 * is to extract a property value from the
 * <em>source</em> of the event object and set this value as
 * the value of a property of the target object.
 * In the following example we create an <code>ActionListener</code> that
 * sets the "label" property of the target
 * object to the value of the "text" property of the
 * source (the value of the "source" property) of the event.
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
 *EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, myButton, "label", "source.text")
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * This would correspond to the following inner class implementation:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
//Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
 *new ActionListener {
 *    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 *        myButton.setLabel(((JTextField)e.getSource()).getText());
 *    }
 *}
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * The event property may be "qualified" with an arbitrary number
 * of property prefixes delimited with the "." character. The "qualifying"
 * names that appear before the "." characters are taken as the names of
 * properties that should be applied, left-most first, to
 * the event object.
 * <p>
 * For example, the following action listener
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
 *EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, target, "a", "b.c.d")
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * might be written as the following inner class
 * (assuming all the properties had canonical getter methods and
 * returned the appropriate types):
 *
 * <blockquote>
 *<pre>
//Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
 *new ActionListener {
 *    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 *        target.setA(e.getB().getC().isD());
 *    }
 *}
 *</pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * The target property may also be "qualified" with an arbitrary number
 * of property prefixs delimited with the "." character.  For example, the
 * following action listener:
 * <pre>
 *   EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, target, "a.b", "c.d")
 * </pre>
 * might be written as the following inner class
 * (assuming all the properties had canonical getter methods and
 * returned the appropriate types):
 * <pre>
 *   //Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
 *   new ActionListener {
 *     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
 *         target.getA().setB(e.getC().isD());
 *    }
 *}
 *</pre>
 * <p>
 * As <code>EventHandler</code> ultimately relies on reflection to invoke
 * a method we recommend against targeting an overloaded method.  For example,
 * if the target is an instance of the class <code>MyTarget</code> which is
 * defined as:
 * <pre>
 *   public class MyTarget {
 *     public void doIt(String);
 *     public void doIt(Object);
 *   }
 * </pre>
 * Then the method <code>doIt</code> is overloaded.  EventHandler will invoke
 * the method that is appropriate based on the source.  If the source is
 * null, then either method is appropriate and the one that is invoked is
 * undefined.  For that reason we recommend against targeting overloaded
 * methods.

    /**
     * Creates an implementation of <code>listenerInterface</code> in which
     * the method named <code>listenerMethodName</code>
     * passes the value of the event expression, <code>eventPropertyName</code>,
     * to the final method in the statement, <code>action</code>, which
     * is applied to the <code>target</code>. All of the other listener
     * methods do nothing.
     * <p>
     * The <code>eventPropertyName</code> string is used to extract a value
     * from the incoming event object that is passed to the target
     * method.  The common case is the target method takes no arguments, in
     * which case a value of null should be used for the
     * <code>eventPropertyName</code>.  Alternatively if you want
     * the incoming event object passed directly to the target method use
     * the empty string.
     * The format of the <code>eventPropertyName</code> string is a sequence of
     * methods or properties where each method or
     * property is applied to the value returned by the preceeding method
     * starting from the incoming event object.
     * The syntax is: <code>propertyName{.propertyName}*</code>
     * where <code>propertyName</code> matches a method or
     * property.  For example, to extract the <code>point</code>
     * property from a <code>MouseEvent</code>, you could use either
     * <code>"point"</code> or <code>"getPoint"</code> as the
     * <code>eventPropertyName</code>.  To extract the "text" property from
     * a <code>MouseEvent</code> with a <code>JLabel</code> source use any
     * of the following as <code>eventPropertyName</code>:
     * <code>"source.text"</code>,
     * <code>"getSource.text"</code> <code>"getSource.getText"</code> or
     * <code>"source.getText"</code>.  If a method can not be found, or an
     * exception is generated as part of invoking a method a
     * <code>RuntimeException</code> will be thrown at dispatch time.  For
     * example, if the incoming event object is null, and
     * <code>eventPropertyName</code> is non-null and not empty, a
     * <code>RuntimeException</code> will be thrown.
     * <p>
     * The <code>action</code> argument is of the same format as the
     * <code>eventPropertyName</code> argument where the last property name
     * identifies either a method name or writable property.
     * <p>
     * If the <code>listenerMethodName</code> is <code>null</code>
     * <em>all</em> methods in the interface trigger the <code>action</code> to be
     * executed on the <code>target</code>.
     * <p>
     * For example, to create a <code>MouseListener</code> that sets the target
     * object's <code>origin</code> property to the incoming <code>MouseEvent</code>'s
     * location (that's the value of <code>mouseEvent.getPoint()</code>) each
     * time a mouse button is pressed, one would write:
     *<blockquote>
     *<pre>
     *EventHandler.create(MouseListener.class, target, "origin", "point", "mousePressed");
     *</pre>
     *</blockquote>
     *
     * This is comparable to writing a <code>MouseListener</code> in which all
     * of the methods except <code>mousePressed</code> are no-ops:
     *
     *<blockquote>
     *<pre>
//Equivalent code using an inner class instead of EventHandler.
     *new MouseAdapter() {
     *    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
     *        target.setOrigin(e.getPoint());
     *    }
     *};
     * </pre>
     *</blockquote>
     *
     * @param listenerInterface the listener interface to create a proxy for
     * @param target the object that will perform the action
     * @param action the name of a (possibly qualified) property or method on
     *        the target
     * @param eventPropertyName the (possibly qualified) name of a readable property of the incoming event
     * @param listenerMethodName the name of the method in the listener interface that should trigger the action
     *
     * @return an object that implements <code>listenerInterface</code>
