<a name="26" href="#26">26</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * developers using Shiro should implement directly. App developers should instead use the</em>
<a name="27" href="#27">27</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * {@link org.apache.shiro.event.Subscribe Subscribe} annotation on methods they wish to receive events.</em>

<a name="30" href="#30">30</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * component. As such, event bus implementors (or framework/infrastructural implementors) or those that wish to</em>
<a name="31" href="#31">31</a> <em class="jxr_javadoccomment"> * customize listener/dispatch functionality might find this concept useful.</em>
