Hi, This is a great article. I have a question about the MyCommands class (in the last section). If I want to execute the quit action from several places in my GUI, and each of those places needs to run different code on a quit(), then how can I achieve this? I think I would need to make a set of interfaces and have MyCommands implement each interface (one interface per command). Then we could quickly swap implementations as the user navigates around the GUI. public interfact QuitActionHandler { public void quit(); } public class MyCommands implements QuitActionHandler { public void quit() { // Delegates work to the context-sensitive aciton handler getQuitActionHandler().quit(); } }
