public class ShutdownHelper
extends Object
Provides support for maintaining information about an impending shutdown
announcement either in an instance context or in a group context. An instance
of this object is consulted for distinguishing an abnormal failure from a
planned shutdown resulting in a failure notification from heart beat agents.
Also consulted for determining if a member being suspected has already
announced shutdown or there is a group shutdown.
