/** Provides read access to a <type>ContentResultSet</type>.

	<p>
	You can either get a simple static <type>ContentResultSet</type> or you can
	listen to change-notifications and than swap from the old to a new
	<type>ContentResultSet</type>.
	</p>

	<p>The following describes the dynamic use:</p>

	<p>
	<type>XDynamicResultSet</type> provides the possibility to get notifications
	about changes on a <type>ContentResultSet</type> and have an
	listener-controlled update from one version to the next version. Two
	<type>ContentResultSet</type> implementations were given to the listener in
	the first notification as interface 
    <type scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">XResultSet</type>.
	</p>

	<p>
	To get notifications the listener has to be of type
	<type>XDynamicResultSetListener</type>.
	</p>

	<p>
	After registration you will get notifications for events of type
	<type>ListEvent</type>.
	</p>

	<p>
	The calling of <member>XDynamicResultSetListener::notify</member> has
	to happen in an own thread, because it could take a longer time and any
	actions	til the listener returns the call. So don't block the notify-causing
	action.
	</p>

	<p>
	While one notify-call is going on:
	</p>

	<ol>
  	<li> The listener is allowed to access both <type>ContentResultSet</type>s,
		 they must be both valid.</li>
  	<li> It is not allowed to start a second notify-call.</li>
  	<li> All addditional things we want to send as notification are to be
	     queued.</li>
  	<li> Any other calls are to be accepted and treated.</li>
	</ol>

	<p>
	After the listener has returned the notify-call:
	</p>

	<ol>
	<li> The listener is allowed to access the new 
         <type>ContentResultSet</type>. The new one is first assigned in the
         WELCOME-event and than the ResultSets are always swapped.</li>
	<li> The listener is not allowed to access the old 
         <type>ContentResultSet</type>.</li>
