ActiveObject (FFMQ Core 4.0.13 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTcpPacketHandler, LocalQueue, TcpPacketReceiver, TcpPacketSender
```
public interface ActiveObject
```
An active object is supposed to have regular activity.

If the object last activity gets too old (older than the configured timeout delay), the activity watchdog will kick in and call the onActivityTimeout() method of the object.
