Okay, since I've generated some interest, I'll expand.

I'm attempting to decouple the method of networking from the work that the
server does.
I have a 2 way socket based network layer that can initiate communication,
handle requests and reply with responses in either direction.
This Class is passed handler objects which deal with the requests and return
something appropriate.
In order for the server to pass the correct stuff to specific interested
clients the business part of the server must keep references to its clients.
These references must know how to locate the client but the business part of
the server does not need to know this. So ClientRef has some business stuff
and also a Location reference. It is this location reference that can be an
empty interface type. The business layer never needs to know anything other
than it is some form of locator. The network layer created the Location and
when it gets it back will know how to interrogate it for the address.
I suppose this is by the by, but I guess port and ip address is only ever
going to be the information you need to locate. But I don't know that for
sure, so the principle stands.
