* <pre>
* package foo;
*
* public interface Bar {
* String doStuff();
* }
* </pre>
* then by default, the async remote service proxy interface class would be expected
* to be the following:
* <pre>
* package foo;
* import org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.IAsyncRemoteServiceProxy;
* import org.eclipse.equinox.concurrent.future.IFuture;
*
* public interface BarAsync extends IAsyncRemoteServiceProxy {
* IFuture doStuffAsync();
* }
* </pre>
* This property allows a new class to be associated with the
* original service interface, so that rather than looking for the foo.BarAsync class
* when a proxy is created, the class specified by the value of the property will
* be used instead. For example, assume the existance of another async
* remote service interface:
* <pre>
* package gogo;
* import org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.IAsyncRemoteServiceProxy;
* import org.eclipse.equinox.concurrent.future.IFuture;
*
* public interface MyBar extends IAsyncRemoteServiceProxy {
* IFuture doStuffAsync();
* }
* </pre>
* Further assume that when the remote service was registered, that a service property
* was specified:
* <pre>
* serviceProps.put("ecf.rsvc.async.proxy_&lt;fq classname&gt;","&lt;fq substitute&gt;");
* </pre>
* <pre>
* serviceProps.put("ecf.rsvc.async.proxy_foo.Bar","gogo.MyBar");
* </pre>
* Then, when a Bar proxy is created, if the 'gogo.MyBar' interface is available on
* the client, an async remote service proxy will be added to the proxy, and
* client will be able to asynchronously call MyBar.doStuffAsync() on the proxy.
