Hi all,

A custom event needs to have a TYPE variable to denote the type of the 
event. For example:

public class LogoutEvent extends Event<LogoutEventHandler>
{
public static Type<LogoutEventHandler> TYPE = new 
Type<LogoutEventHandler>();
 @Override
protected void dispatch(LogoutEventHandler handler)
{
handler.onLogout();
}

@Override
public com.google.web.bindery.event.shared.Event.Type<LogoutEventHandler> 
getAssociatedType()
{
return TYPE;
}

}


I am just curious about the need to have the TYPE field. Why GWT could not 
use the class name of the event(in this case LogoutEvent) to denote the 
type of the event. Only purpose I see of this type is to have it as a key 
in the map of events and their handlers. I think even the class name could 
have served as the key in this map.

Thanks
Ganesh
