/**
 * @class TAO_Resume_Handle
 *
 * @brief A utility class that helps in resuming handlers if TAO uses
 *  a TP Reactor from ACE.
 *
 * Please read the documentation in the bugzilla #575 in the bugzilla
 * database what we mean by handler resumption.
 *
 * When TAO uses a TP reactor, it takes care of resuming the handler
 * once it makes sure that it has read the whole message out of the
 * socket. During the process of reading the transport object would
 * have to deal with errors in 'read' from the socket, or errors in
 * the messages that has been received. Instead of calling
 * resume_handler () on the reactor at every point in the code, we
 * use this utility class to take care of the resumption.
