+
+The Immutable Event Dispatcher
+==============================
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.1
+    This feature was added in Symfony 2.1.
+
+The :class:`Symfony\\Component\\EventDispatcher\\ImmutableEventDispatcher` is
+a locked or frozen event dispatcher. The dispatcher cannot register new
+listeners or subscribers.
+
+The ``ImmutableEventDispatcher`` takes another event dispatcher with all the
+listeners and subscribers. The immutable dispatcher is just a proxy of this
+original dispatcher.
+
+To use it, first create a normal dispatcher (``EventDispatcher`` or
+``ContainerAwareEventDispatcher``) and register some listeners or
+subscribers::
+
+    use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher;
+
+    $dispatcher = new EventDispatcher();
+    $dispatcher->addListener('foo.action', function ($event) {
+        // ...
+    });
+
+    // ...
+
+Now, inject that into an ``ImmutableEventDispatcher``::
+
+    use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\ImmutableEventDispatcher;
+    // ...
+
+    $immutableDispatcher = new ImmutableEventDispatcher($dispatcher);
+
+You'll need to use this new dispatcher in your project.
+
+If you are trying to execute one of the methods which modifies the dispatcher
+(e.g. ``addListener``), a ``BadMethodCallException`` is thrown.
