public interface ResourceProxy
The resource proxy interface is implemented by objects which represent a
scarce resource to an application but where the actual scarce resource may
be a lower level object to which the application does not have direct access.
The indirection provided by ResourceProxy allows the retaining of state
regardless of availability of the actual resource.
Objects implementing the ResourceProxy interface are created by the
application program and may have a lifetime longer than the time a resource
is actually held by the application. A resource may be acquired and released
multiple times using the same ResourceProxy object.
All interaction between applications and objects abstracting over the
resources themselves is carried out via an object implementing the
ResourceProxy interface.
