/**
* Purpose: 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 paticualr 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.
