     * will be further filtered by the access rights of the
     * current <code>Session</code>.
     * <p>
     * See {@link JackrabbitEventFilter} for a description of the filtering parameters available.
     * <p>
     * The filter of an already-registered <code>EventListener</code> can be
     * changed at runtime by re-registering the same <code>EventListener</code>
     * object (i.e. the same actual Java object) with a new filter.
     * The implementation must ensure that no events are lost during the changeover.
     * <p>
     * In addition to the filters placed on a listener above, the scope of
     * observation support, in terms of which parts of a workspace are observable, may also
     * be subject to implementation-specific restrictions. For example, in some
     * repositories observation of changes in the <code>jcr:system</code>
     * subgraph may not be supported.
