/**
 * <p><b>Purpose</b>: Used to support Java event listener event model on descriptors.
 * Events can be registered for, through two methods, the first is by providing a method
 * to be called on the object that a particular operation is being performed on.
 * The second is by registering an event listener object to be notified when any event occurs
 * for that descriptor.  The second method is more similar to the java beans event model
 * and requires the registered listener to implement the DescriptorEventListener interface.
