Recieving Mouse/Keyboard events in independent object?

Question

I'm currently writing a class Map, which is supposed to, surprise, display and handle a map. There is no separate window or similar for it, and thus, I figured that the class using an instance of Map would have to send any events separately to 'their' methods in the object. my question is, is this really necessary, or is there a possibility to register such events directly to the Map class?
what I now have is something like this:
public class Parent extends Applet implements KeyListener {
  Map m = new Map();
  public void init() {
    addKeyListener(this);
//etc.
  public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    m.keyPressed(e);
} //end of Applet
class Map {
  public Map(){}
  public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    System.out.println("Recieved key event from Parent: "+e);
}any wise suggestions?
thanks in advance

hell, it doesn't work yet. does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?
public class TrivialApplet extends Applet implements KeyListener {
  Map m = new Map();
  public void init() {
    addKeyListener(m);
//etc
class Map implements KeyListener {
  public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
    System.out.println(""+e.getKeyCode());
}it simply doesn't work :/
