* We need a generic interface to forward any oneway uno interface method
* by using threads to the original object. Reason:
* It's not allowed to call synchronoues back to the office if a java object
* was called in a oneway declared interface method. Then it must be
* executed asynchronoues. To do so - a thread can be created which use this
* interface. It get the object, which whis to be called back and the type and
* parameter of the original request.
