/**
 * ContextJXPathBindingBuilder provides a helper class for the Factory
 * implemented in {@link JXPathBindingManager} that helps construct the
 * actual {@link ContextJXPathBinding} out of the configuration in the
 * provided configElement which looks like:
 * <pre><code>
 * &lt;fb:context path="<i>xpath expression</i>"&gt;
 *   &lt;!-- in here come the nested child bindings on the sub-context --&gt;
 * &lt;/fb:context&gt;
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>The <code>fb:context</code> element can have an optional <code>factory</code>
 * attribute, whose value, if present, must be the name of a class extending
 * {@link org.apache.commons.jxpath.AbstractFactory}. If this attribute is present,
 * an instance of the named class is registered with the JXPath context and can be used to
 * create an object corresponding to the path of the <code>fb:context</code> element
 * upon save, if needed.</p>
