   * method of the listener interface.</p>
   *

   * will be forwarded, too. Keep in mind that using a property name instead of a
   * real method here is wrong and will throw an <code>ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException</code>
   * whenever one of the listener methods is called.<p/>

   *
   * <p>Use this method if you want to create an implementation that retrieves

   *
   * <p>You can set the value of <code>eventPropertyName</code> to "prop"

   * object. In case that no such property exists the <code>EventHandler</code>
   * will try to find a method with that name.</p>
   *
   * <p>If you set <code>eventPropertyName</code> to a value like this "a.b.c"
   * <code>EventHandler</code> will recursively evaluate the properties "a", "b"
   * and "c". Again if no property can be found the <code>EventHandler</code>
   * tries a method name instead. This allows mixing the names, too: "a.toString"
   * will retrieve the property "a" from the event object and will then call
   * the method "toString" on it.</p>
   *
   * <p>An exception thrown in any of these methods will provoke a
   * <code>RuntimeException</code> to be thrown which contains an
   * <code>InvocationTargetException</code> containing the triggering exception.</p>
   *
   * <p>If you set <code>eventPropertyName</code> to a non-null value the
   * <code>action</code> parameter will be interpreted as a property name
   * or a method name of the target object.</p>
   *
   * <p>Any object retrieved from the event object and applied to the
   * target will converted from primitives to their wrapper class or
   * vice versa or applied to a method that accepts a superclass
   * of the object.</p>
   *
   * <p>Examples:</p>

   *        }
   *    });
   * </code>
   *
   * <p>Can be expressed using the <code>EventHandler</code> like this:</p>
   * <p>
   * <code>button.addActionListener((ActionListener)
   *    EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, textField, "text", "source.class.name");
   * <code>
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>As said above you can specify the target as a method, too:</p>
   * <p>
   * <code>button.addActionListener((ActionListener)
   *    EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, textField, "setText", "source.class.name");
   * <code>
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>Furthermore you can use method names in the property:</p>
   * <p>
   * <code>button.addActionListener((ActionListener)
   *    EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, textField, "setText", "getSource.getClass.getName");
   * <code>
   * </p>
   *
   * <p>Finally you can mix names:</p>

   * <code>button.addActionListener((ActionListener)
   *    EventHandler.create(ActionListener.class, textField, "setText", "source.getClass.name");
   * <code>
