+encapsulation of a service provider</title><shortdesc>This document describes how to use derived active object classes
+to encapsulate services.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>Some active object classes do not implement a <codeph>RunL()</codeph> function.
+Such classes are intended for derivation.</p>
+<p>For example, the general purpose <codeph>CTimer</codeph> class provides
+encapsulation of the timer services offered by the <codeph>RTimer</codeph> class,
+but provides no <codeph>RunL()</codeph> to handle their completion. To use
+the <codeph>CTimer</codeph> class, you must derive from it again and provide
+a <codeph>RunL()</codeph> function.</p>
+<p>Some asynchronous service providers may provide facilities for more than
+one request to be outstanding simultaneously. However, a single active object
+can only have one request outstanding. If all the facilities of such an asynchronous
+service provider must be used in a program, then it must be encapsulated by
+more than one active object.</p>
