## Interface EntityListenerFactory

- Deprecated.
  since 4.0, as EntityResolver no longer loads listeners from its DataMaps.

      public interface EntityListenerFactory

  A factory used to create entity listeners. By default listeners are created using a noop constructor on the listener class, however if a user needs to customize listener creation process (e.g. perform dependency injection, etc.), a custom factory can be installed on the EntityResolver. EntityListenerFactory also supports defining listener interfaces, not just classes).
  Since:
    3.0
