/**
 * Simple implementation of the {@link ApplicationEventMulticaster} interface.
 *
 * <p>Multicasts all events to all registered listeners, leaving it up to
 * the listeners to ignore events that they are not interested in.
 * Listeners will usually perform corresponding <code>instanceof</code>
 * checks on the passed-in event object.
 *
 * <p>By default, all listeners are invoked in the calling thread.
 * This allows the danger of a rogue listener blocking the entire application,
 * but adds minimal overhead. Specify an alternative TaskExecutor to have
 * listeners executed in different threads, for example from a thread pool.
