Class DeadEvent

com.google.common.eventbus.DeadEvent

@Beta
public class DeadEvent
extends Object

Wraps an event that was posted, but which had no subscribers and thus could not be delivered.

Subscribing a DeadEvent handler is useful for debugging or logging, as it can detect misconfigurations in a system's event distribution.
