Class BaseItem.MainThread

java.lang.Object
gnu.cajo.utils.BaseItem.MainThread
All Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable
Enclosing class:
BaseItem

public abstract class BaseItem.MainThread extends Object implements Runnable
The main processing thread of this object. An object can be either entirely, event driven, i.e. executing only when its methods are being invoked, or can also have a thread of its own. If non-null, it will be started upon its binding by the ItemServer, where its startThread method will be invoked.

This is an an inner class of BaseItem, to allow its implementations access to the object's private and protected members and methods. This is critical because all public methods of BaseItem can be invoked by remote objects, just as with local objects.
