+== Why is this an issue?
+
+Spring provides the `@EventListener` annotation as a simpler alternative to implementing the `ApplicationListener` interface for handling events. The `@EventListener` annotation registers a method as an event handler.
+This allows to skip the implementation of the `ApplicationListener` interface, making it easier to handle events.
+
+The `@EventListener` annotation can only be used on methods that have at most one parameter, which should be the specific event that we want to handle.
+To listen to several types of events, use the `classes` argument of the `@EventListener` annotation.
+
+This rule raises an issue on all methods annotated with `@EventListener` that have more than one parameter.
+
+== How to fix it
+
+=== Code examples
+
+==== Noncompliant code example
+
+[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
+----
+@EventListener
+void handleEvent(CustomerEvent customerEvent, ExceptionalEvent exceptionalEvent) { // Non compliant, this will cause a runtime error
+    //... some event handling
+}
+----
+
+==== Compliant solution
+
+[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
+----
+@EventListener(classes = {CustomerEvent.class, ExceptionalEvent.class})
+void handleEvent(ApplicationEvent event) { // Only one parameter, of the super type `ApplicationEvent`
+    //... some event handling
+}
