Interface SafeTerminate

All Known Subinterfaces:

FetchAgent, TransportAgent

public interface SafeTerminate

Defines standard callbacks for classes that would like to know if the application is about to terminate. Objects that implement this interface can be managed by a TerminateController object.

Typical implementors of this class should be classes that often do critical stuff which should be alowed to finnish before the VM is terminated.
