+/** supports connection points for connectable objects.
+
+ <p>Connectable objects support the following features: </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>outgoing interfaces, such as event sets; </li>
+ <li>the ability to enumerate the types of the outgoing interfaces;
+ <li>the ability to connect and disconnect sinks to the object
+ for those outgoing types; </li>
+ <li>the ability to enumerate the connections that exist to a
+ particular outgoing interface. </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h4>When to Implement?</h4>
+
+ <p>To create a connectable object, you need to implement objects
+ that provide two related interfaces: </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>XConnectionPointContainer </li>
+ <li>XConnectionPoint </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>The XConnectionPointContainer interface is implemented
+ on the connectable object to indicate the existence of the outgoing
+ interfaces. It provides a sequence of sub-objects. It also provides
+ access to all the connection point sub-objects, each of which
+ implements the XConnectionPoint interface. The
+ XConnectionPoint interface provides a sequence of
+ sub-objects. </p>
+
+ <p>Each connection point is a separate sub-object to avoid circular
+ reference counting problems. A connection point controls how many
+ connections (one or more) it will allow in its implementation of
+ XConnectionPoint::advise(). </p>
+
+ <h4>When to use?</h4>
+
+ <p>A client can use the XConnectionPointContainer interface: </p>
+
+ - to get a sequence of connection points for each outgoing type.
+
+ - to obtain access to connection point sub-objects with the
+ XConnectionPoint interface for each
+ outgoing type. Through the XConnectionPoint interface,
+ a client starts or terminates an advisory loop with the
+ connectable object and the client's own sink. The
+ client can also use the XConnectionPoint
+ interface to get a sequence of the connections that it
+ knows about.
+
+ @see XConnectionPointContainer
