Multiple JSliders - identifying changes

Am I able to add a change listener and define it on creation of a new JSlider?

The order in which I need to create and add JSliders means I can't define them beforehand, so I don't really have a way to store them beforehand.

Essentially: I don't have named JSliders, but need a way to identify which one has been altered.

Will add to this with some example code later if it's not too clear what I am questioning about

EDIT:

Specifically, imagine I have one JSlider to represent a minimum value, and one JSlider to represent a maximum value. I need to use this to represent a range of numbers, lets say customer IDs, that will be displayed later on.

If your sliders are defined out of scope (ie the event listener has no way to reference the variable), then you can supply the slider with a "name", which you can look up and compare

JSlider slider = new JSlider();
slider.setName("funky");

//...//

public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
    Object source = e.getSource();
    if (source instanceof JSlider) {
        JSlider slider = (JSlider)source;
        String name = slider.getName();
        if ("funky".equals(name)) {
            // Do funky stuff
        }
    }
}

However, if you define you JSlider as class level field, you can compare the reference of the event source to the defined slider...

private JSlider slider;

//...//

slider = new JSlider();
slider.setName("funky");

//...//

public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
    if (slider == e.getSource()) {
        // Do funky stuff
    }
}

Realistically, if you can, you should be giving each slider it's own listener and dealing with it directly from the source...

JSlider slider = new JSlider();
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
        JSlider slider= (Slider)e.getSource();
        // Do funky stuff
    }
});
