How to access the Arbitrator
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Habanero.collobject

Background Information

When you have a hablet with a custom arbitrator that handles locks and keys, you need a way to send it these lock requests. To do this you need to capture the instance of the arbitrator. This is done through your hablet's collobject instance.

How does this work?

Once you have the collobject simply call the method arbitrator which will return the instance of your hablet's arbitrator. The following example will show you how this is done. 

Example 
public Arbitrator getArbitrator(MirrorFrame mf)  
{
     Collobject c = mf.getCollobject();
     Arbitrator a = c.arbitrator();
}
