  - isAppropriateListener
```
public boolean isAppropriateListener(FacesListener listener)
```
    Description copied from class: FacesEvent
    
    Return true if this FacesListener is an instance of a listener class that this event supports. Typically, this will be accomplished by an "instanceof" check on the listener class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isAppropriateListener in class FacesEvent
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - FacesListener to evaluate
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it is the appropriate instance, false otherwise.
  - processListener
```
public void processListener(FacesListener listener)
```
    Description copied from class: FacesEvent
    
    Broadcast this FacesEvent to the specified FacesListener, by whatever mechanism is appropriate. Typically, this will be accomplished by calling an event processing method, and passing this FacesEvent as a paramter.
    
    Specified by:
    
    processListener in class FacesEvent
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - FacesListener to send this FacesEvent to
    
    Throws:
    
    AbortProcessingException - Signal the Jakarta Server Faces implementation that no further processing on the current event should be performed
