* Implement this interface receive notifications for IJIComObjects when

* COM runtime.
*
*
* One note of caution, the IJIComObject is uniquely identified across the
* client-server relationship by it's IPID. The IPID should be used
* as a key to store a relevant "action" object when unReferenced method of this
* interface is invoked. If the IJIComObject is stored at a place solely for the
* purpose of this housekeeping than it will NEVER get garbage collected by the framework as
* the logic of collection is based on weak references.
