IExternalService

Interface
Description:
The base interface class for all external services.
Remarks:

Both supported kinds of services - single-server and multi-server - will derive their classes from this interface, albeit indirectly through an interface specific to the particular kind. External services never derive directly from this class - they always have to derive from either ISingleServerService or IMultiServerService, respectivelly.
