47
48    <p>
49    Instead of <type>XJob</type> the implementation of this interface
50    must be aware, that execution can be made real asynchronous (e.g. by using
51    threads). Because the environment whish to have creation and using of threads
52    under control, it's not allowed for a real job implementation to use such mechanism
53    by itself. The outside code decide, if it's possible and how it can be made
54    asynchronous. In some special cases it can be, that asynchronous jobs will be executed
55    synchronously.
