| 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> |
