Package smartcard :: Module ReaderMonitoring :: Class ReaderMonitor

Class ReaderMonitor

Class that monitors reader insertion/removal. and notify observers

note: a reader monitoring thread will be running as long as the reader monitor has observers, or ReaderMonitor.stop() is called.

It implements the shared state design pattern, where objects of the same type all share the same state, in our case essentially the ReaderMonitoring Thread. Thanks to Frank Aune for implementing the shared state pattern logics.
