java - Java addMouseListener在Oracle示例中接受奇怪的参数

以下是从Oracle网站使用mouseEvent的示例：

我不希望任何人阅读全部代码。我只对以下代码的特定行感兴趣：

addMouseListener(this); //WHY IS "this" ALLOWED AS AN ARGUMENT?

在Oracle网站提供的这一行代码中，他们正在尝试为面板添加mouseListener。这可以。
但是，引用面板引用的this用作addMouseListener（）方法的参数。为什么允许这样做？

我检查了addMouseListener API，它仅允许使用MouseListener对象，为什么在这里允许使用面板对象？

addMouseListener API：http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#addMouseListener(java.awt.event.MouseListener)

最佳答案

注意类声明：

public class MouseEventDemo extends JPanel
        implements MouseListener {

特别要注意implements子句。类MouseEventDemo的实例是MouseListener，因此它们是JPanel.addMouseListener()的有效参数。
