/**
 * Abstract base class for client-side action handlers with caching support.
 * 
 * Supported features include:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * {@link #prefetch}/{@link #postfetch} perform the cache lookup and the cache store. You can use this to customize
 * the caching logic.
 * 
 * 
 * Automatic action queuing so that calls in quick succession result in a single trip to the server.
 * 
 * 
 * Flexibility of cache implementation to support custom caching
 * 
 * 
 * @deprecated Since 1.4.
 * Use {@link com.gwtplatform.dispatch.rpc.client.interceptor.caching.AbstractCachingRpcInterceptor}
 *
 * @param  The type of the action.
 * @param  The type of the result.
