class SocketAcceptor
	/// This class implements the Acceptor part of the
	/// Acceptor-Connector design pattern.
	///
	/// The Acceptor-Connector pattern has been described in the book
	/// "Pattern Languages of Program Design 3", edited by Robert Martin,
	/// Frank Buschmann and Dirk Riehle (Addison Wesley, 1997).
	///
	/// The Acceptor-Connector design pattern decouples connection
	/// establishment and service initialization in a distributed system
	/// from the processing performed once a service is initialized.
	/// This decoupling is achieved with three components: Acceptors, 
	/// Connectors and Service Handlers.
	/// The SocketAcceptor passively waits for connection requests (usually
	/// from a remote Connector) and establishes a connection upon
	/// arrival of a connection requests. Also, a Service Handler is
	/// initialized to process the data arriving via the connection in
	/// an application-specific way.
	///
	/// The SocketAcceptor sets up a ServerSocket and registers itself
	/// for a ReadableNotification, denoting an incoming connection request.
	///
	/// When the ServerSocket becomes readable the SocketAcceptor accepts
	/// the connection request and creates a ServiceHandler to
	/// service the connection.
	///
	/// The ServiceHandler class must provide a constructor that
	/// takes a StreamSocket and a SocketReactor as arguments,
	/// e.g.:
	///     MyServiceHandler(const StreamSocket& socket, ServiceReactor& reactor)
	///
	/// When the ServiceHandler is done, it must destroy itself.
	///
	/// Subclasses can override the createServiceHandler() factory method
	/// if special steps are necessary to create a ServiceHandler object.
