ChangeEvent_Impl

public interface ChangeEvent
extends Event

A change event models an event that occurs when an explicit boolean expression becomes true as a result of a change in value of one or more attributes or associations. A change event is raised implicitly and is not the result of some explicit change event action. The change event should not be confused with a guard. A guard is only evaluated at the time an event is dispatched whereas, conceptually, the boolean expression associated with a change event is evaluated continuously until it becomes true. The event that is generated remains until it is consumed even if the boolean expression changes to false after that.
