/**
 * The <code>Render</code> interface defines a service interface for

 * <strong>NOTE: This interface is just an intermediate solution for making the

 * <code>javax.servlet.Servlet</code> interface with predefined service
 * registration properties instead.</strong>
 * 
 * @deprecated This interface will be removed when <a
 *             href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-574">FELIX-574</a>
 *             will be implemented.
