Class DeadEvent

java.lang.Object
com.google.common.eventbus.DeadEvent
public class DeadEvent extends Object
Wraps an event that was posted, but which had no subscribers and thus could not be delivered.

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