public class ClientTimeoutAgent
extends Thread
The client timeout agent is a thread who loops forever until it is killed. During is life span, it marks the time, falls asleep, wakes up and checks how long it has been asleep. If the client wakes up and notices that it has been asleep for longer than its timeout resolution, than it will execute a ClientAbortDialog asking the user if he/she wishes to abort or resume processing the thread which had timed out. The timeout agent is used to monitor the status of socket connections.
