When an application or a program keeps on monitoring and quickly responds to any action that occurs at the GUI interface ,like mouse movement, selecting an item in a list or entering a keyboard input and so on then such a scenario is termed as event handling.

In java the events from the event sources are captured and they are sent to event listeners for respective actions to be taken.

What are listeners and how it is used in event handling?

Listeners are java classes which extend EventListener. Event handling is a process of notifying listeners of an event. For example if you click a button, the AWT thread will process the click and the button will notify any of it's relevant listeners of the event that just occurred, calling all the added ActionListeners actionPerformed functions. When events happen the system doesn't know who to tell about the actions. Telling everybody would be a waste. So listeners are required to be registered to the various Swing and AWT classes, as well as any custom listeners you may want to write, so as to know who should be told when something happens. Which is how the listener paradigm works thus implementing event handling (at least in Java).


When should we use exception handling in java?

Exception handling should be used in Java in all cases where you as a programmer suspect that your code might throw some exceptions or create errors that might look ugly when a user is using the application. In such cases you use exception handling to catch and handle the exception and exit gracefully. You use the try - catch block in Java for exception handling.
