    • addMdFactoryListener

      void addMdFactoryListener(MdFactoryListener listener, String[] objectTypes) throws RemoteException
      Registers a factory listener. This method allows clients to filter the set events that are fired by the factory. Events will only be fired when the object map, see MdFactoryEvent.getObjectMap(), contains objects of the specified types.

      For instance, if a client chooses to only be notified when modifications are made to either PhysicalTables or Libraries, they can specify this via the objectTypes parameter. In this case, the client can call: 

       MdFactory factory;
 MdFactoryListener listener;
 String interestedTypes[] = new String[] {MetadataObjects.PHYSICALTABLE, MetadataObjects.SASLIBRARY};
 factory.addMdFactoryListener(listener, interestedTypes);
      Any time a created, deleted, or modified event is fired, the objects contained in the event's map will only be of the specified types. All other types will be filtered out of the map.

      Note: If the event's object map does not contain any tables or libraries, the listener will never be notified.

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to register
      objectTypes - an array of metadata types used to filter when events are fired. Events will only be fired by the factory if the object(s) contained in the event are of the specified type.
      Throws:
      RemoteException
