/**
* An entity that wishes to be notified when Brokers

* A RemoteCommitListener <b>is not</b> notified of commits that originated
* with a Broker created from the BrokerFactory that it is
* registered with. (Of course, if a listener is registered with multiple
* factories, this situation might be complicated a bit.)
* Usage:
* <code><pre> import org.apache.openjpa.event.*;
* import org.apache.openjpa.conf.*;
*
* {@link org.apache.openjpa.conf.OpenJPAConfiguration} conf = factory.getConfiguraiton ();
* RemoteCommitListener l = new RemoteCommitListener () {

* // update a Swing widget when remote brokers make
* // changes to reference data }
* public void close () { } };
* conf.getRemoteCommitEventManager ().addListener (l);
* </pre></code>
