| /** |
| * <pre> |
| * <p> |
| * Contains interfaces for schema object registry services and simple POJO |
| * implementations of these services. Other helper interfaces and classes are |
| * included for handling monitoring of these services. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * These services and their POJO implementations are purposefully kept really |
| * simple here for a reason. When one looks at these interfaces they stop and |
| * think why even bother having them when you can just use a map of objects |
| * somewhere. These simple services can and will get more complex as other |
| * facilities come into play namely the object builders that populate these |
| * registries. There might also be caching going on as well as disk based |
| * store access. Finally dependencies become an issue and sometime bootstrap |
| * instances of these components are required by the system. So these simple |
| * watered down interfaces and their POJO's have been pruned from previously |
| * complex environment specific versions of them. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * Some key points to apply to services and their POJO impls in this package: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>registries only register and allow for lookups: its that simple!</li> |
| * <li>don't worry if they change over time</li> |
| * <li>don't worry about how they get populated</li> |
| * <li>don't worry who or what does the populating</li> |
| * <li>don't worry about where the information comes from</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * </p> |
