I would like to pass an Event to all the Layers, on top of my Layer.

Passing infos top-down is possible by doing AbstractLayer.doCommand

Is there an analogue for doing it bottom-up?

Commands are passed the layer stack top-down, events bottom-up

Yeah, it is written in the Docu that the events are passed bottom-up,
but as far as I can see the method AbstractLayer.fireLayerEvent(event) just triggers the listeners - it does not pass events to the layer one level higher.

And I would like to pass an Event bottom-up to ALL LAYERS above my actual layer.

First I thought, that there is a listener, which will pass the event up, but when I tried out on my AbstractLayer implementation - there were no listeners at all.


What do I miss? Is it a wrong method for sending events?

	/**
	 * Pass the event to all the {@link ILayerListener} registered on this layer.
	 * A cloned copy is passed to each listener.
	 */
	public void fireLayerEvent(ILayerEvent event) {
		if (listeners.size() > 0) {
			Iterator<ILayerListener> it = listeners.iterator();
			boolean isLastListener = false;
			do {
				ILayerListener l = it.next();
				isLastListener = !it.hasNext();  // Lookahead
				
				// Fire cloned event to first n-1 listeners; fire original event to last listener
				ILayerEvent eventToFire = isLastListener ? event : event.cloneEvent();
				l.handleLayerEvent(eventToFire);
			} while (!isLastListener);
		}
	}

Yes passing events up is done by calling the listeners. The layers need to register as listener to the underlying layer. This is how it is implemented by the NatTable layers. IMHO this should be implemented in the abstract implementations. Possibly by setUnderlyingLayer(). I think there is also a comment saying that you need to ensure this on implementing a custom layer. So if this does not word for you, you should ensure that you implemented your layer correctly
