## \brief Monitor accessing on the dta model.
#
# This class is a meta-class that monitor data accessing for its instance
# classes.
#
# It is a monitor with a small modification.  The calling would be
# rejected when the domview_ui was locked.  It will not waiting for a
# lock.
#
# \see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29
#
# All methods, of instance classes, who's name is prefixed with 'do' are
# monitored.  When a monitored method was called, monitor will try to lock
# _domview of the object.  The method is only called if successfully acquiring
# the lock, or return immediately.  The lock is released after the calling
# returned.
