/** @file Reactor.h 

An implementation of Reactor pattern.

This class takes after Reactor pattern described in "An Object Behavioral
Pattern for Demultiplexing and Dispatching Handles for Synchronous Events"
by D.C. Schmidt. 

Design of it is highly influenced by ACE's own implementation of Reactor 
class as well as by InterViews V 3.1 from Stanford University.

Reactor reads data from a file descriptor, writes data to a file 
descriptor, handles an I/O exception on a file descriptor, or handles
a timer's expiration. Once the user has requested the Reactor to attach
EventHandler to a file descriptor or a timer, Reactor will 
automatically notify the EventHandler when the file descriptor's
I/O condition changes to the timer expires.

Most of the time, however, event processing is shared with some other
event processor, such as X event loop routine of Gtk+ or another communication
framework such as CORBA. In this case, timed event loop is used. 
This can be achieved by calling Reactor::waitForEvents (TimeVal* tv_).
