<p>The <tt>ResponseHandler</tt> class allows a provider

Subclasses are defined for each of the types of object
that a provider can deliver to the CIM Server.
A <tt>ResponseHandler</tt> object of the appropriate type
is passed to provider
functions that are invoked to process client requests (it
is not passed to the <tt>{@link initialize initialize}</tt>
or <tt>{@link terminate terminate}</tt> functions). It
contains the following public member functions that
may be used to deliver results to the CIM Server:</p>
<ul>
<li><tt>{@link processing processing}</tt> - inform the CIM Server
that delivery of results is beginning.</li>
<li><tt>{@link deliver deliver}</tt> - deliver an incremental
result to the CIM Server; the CIM Server accumulates results as
they are received from the provider.</li>
<li><tt>{@link complete complete}</tt> - inform the CIM Server that
process of the request is complete and that no further
results will be delivered.</li>
