    \brief A server which shares a time object with connected clients.

    The Time Server Application instantiates a \c MinuteTimer object and
    shares it with all connected \l {Time Client Application}
    {Time Client Applications}.

    \section1 Defining Remote Objects using a REP-file

    The REP-file "timemodel.rep" in the parent directory of the example
    is used to generate the header-files used by both applications.
    For this application, the generated "rep_timemodel_source.h" file
    defines \c MinuteTimerSource, the the class to subclass for the
    implementation of \c MinuteTimer, and other related classes.

    \section1 The TimeModel Class

    The \c TimeModel class in timemodel.h and timemodel.cpp implements the
    time object to share. It uses a \c QBasicTimer to ensure that the
    time is updated by calling the \c timerEvent member function.

    \section1 Sharing an Instance of TimeModel

    Instances of \c QRemoteObjectHost and a \c QRemoteObjectRegistryHost are
    created to host an object and having a registry to find it. A
    \c MinuteTimer object is then created and it is shared using the
    \c enableRemoting member function of the \c QRemoteObjectRegistryHost
    object.
