package com.threerings.cocktail.cher.client;
/**
* A client observer is registered with the client instance to be notified
* when state changes happen within the client. Specifically, logon
* sucess/failure and logoff.
*
* <p> These callbacks happen on the client thread and should therefore
* not be used to perform any complex action or do much more than relay
* the signal to some other thread (like the AWT thread) to act more fully
* on the notice.
*
* <p> In the normal course of affairs, <code>clientDidLogon</code> will
* be called after the client successfully logs on to the server and
* <code>clientDidLogoff</code> will be called after the client logs off
* of the server. If logon fails for any reson,
* <code>clientFailedToLogon</code> will be called to explain the failure.
*
* <p> <code>clientWillLogoff</code> will only be called when an abortable
* logoff is requested (like when the user clicks on a logoff button of
* some sort). It will not be called during non-abortable logoff requests
* (like when the browser calls stop on the applet and is about to yank
* the rug out from under us). If an observer aborts the logoff request,
* it should notify the user in some way why the request was aborted
* (<em>but it shouldn't do so on the thread that calls
* <code>clientWillLogoff</code></em>).
*
* <p> If the client connection fails unexpectedly,
* <code>clientConnectionFailed</code> will be called to let the
* observers know that we lost our connection to the
* server. <code>clientDidLogoff</code> will be called immediately
* afterwards as a normal logoff procedure is effected.
