No, it can't be done with the current code. For this to work, there would have
to be finer-grained locking. For example, handlers to somehow establish
relationships between each other that could be used to determine when it is
safe for a set request to be delegate and let of get/set requests be processed.
But it's a complicated problem that nobody has time to work on right now.
I suggest you push the validation back to the GUI. They can do a get on the
object that was input, and make sure they can get a value before calling the
code to set up the monitoring.
If you really have *no* say over the GUI, then you are up the creek without a
paddle. You can experiment with letting set requests be delegated, but I
wouldn't recommend it.
