Interface ClientCreator

public interface ClientCreator

Provides an interface for writing classes to provide client threads to the PortServer class. This interface was created essentially so that you don't have to write a descendant object of the PortServer class just so that you can tell a server what kind of clients to create. See documentation on PortServer for an example on how to use this interface.
