/**
|
|
* An interface for events which can dispatch themselves in another thread.
|
|
* This has two uses: first, if your code is in a critical section, calling a
|
|
* synchronized method might deadlock. But by using an ActiveEvent to call
|
|
* the second section, it will not obtain the lock until you have left the
|
|
* critical section, avoiding deadlock. The second use is for calling
|
|
* untrusted code. For example, system code should use an ActiveEvent to
|
|
* invoke user code securely.
