 * Base class for asynchronous client callback handler. The application code
 * needs to create an instance of this class (actually an instance of a
 * subclass, since this base class cannot be used directly) and pass it to the
 * generated startXXX client stub method when initiating an asynchronous
 * operation. The Axis2 code then calls the appropriate methods of this class
 * {@link #setComplete(boolean)}, and either {@link #onComplete(AsyncResult)}
 * or {@link #onError(Exception)} when the operation is completed.
 *
 * @deprecated Please use AxisCallback instead, this class is deprecated as of 1.3
