17549 - impossible to remove event listener

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Java APIs for DOM, defect, P3)

Description

[Michail Romanov]

Overview Description:
Method org.mozilla.dom.removeEventListener(...) fails to work sometimes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1)Add event listener to some existent Node:
    Node n = doc.getElementsByTagName("BODY").item(0);
    if (n instanceof NodeImpl) {
	NodeImpl target = (NodeImpl)n;
	target.addEventListener(eventType, evtListener, false);
    }
2)After that you may need to remove this listener:
    Node n = doc.getElementsByTagName("BODY").item(0);
    if (n instanceof NodeImpl) {
	NodeImpl target = (NodeImpl)n;
	target.removeEventListener(eventType, evtListener, false);
    }

Actual Results:
Event listener is not removed.

Expected Results:
Event listener should be removed.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
10/28/1999 Win NT 4.0

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:

Additional Information:
This happens because event listeners are stored in Java
implementation of Node, though each time when user gets reference on
Node from Java it is constructed again from CPP object, so all information
about registered listeners looses.
