+ * FailoverProtectedOperation is a continuation for an operation that may throw a {@link FailoverException} because
+ * it has been interrupted by the fail-over process. The {@link FailoverRetrySupport} class defines support wrappers
+ * for failover protected operations, in order to provide different handling schemes when failovers occurr.
+ *
+ * <p/>The type of checked exception that the operation may perform has been generified, in order that fail over
+ * protected operations can be defined that raise arbitrary exceptions. The actuall exception types used should not
+ * be sub-classes of FailoverException, or else catching FailoverException in the {@link FailoverRetrySupport} classes
+ * will mask the exception.
