## Class RowSetEvent

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.EventObject
  - - javax.sql.RowSetEvent

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable

      public class RowSetEvent
      extends EventObject

  An `Event` object generated when an event occurs to a `RowSet` object. A `RowSetEvent` object is generated when a single row in a rowset is changed, the whole rowset is changed, or the rowset cursor moves.

  When an event occurs on a `RowSet` object, one of the `RowSetListener` methods will be sent to all registered listeners to notify them of the event. An `Event` object is supplied to the `RowSetListener` method so that the listener can use it to find out which `RowSet` object is the source of the event.
