/**
 * An abstract base class for renderer connectors. A renderer connector is used

 * {@link com.vaadin.client.renderers.Renderer Renderer}. As a connector, it can
 * use the regular Vaadin RPC and shared state mechanism to pass additional
 * state and information between the client and the server. This base class
 * itself only uses the basic {@link com.vaadin.shared.communication.SharedState
 * SharedState} and no RPC interfaces.
