/**
* A marker used to denote that the class should be pre-loaded into hibernate's
* class mapping. Used for component classes which are not going to be mapped to
* the RDBMS but which must be loadable for mapped classes to instantiate
* correctly. Basically if you refer to a class that isn't itself going to be
* mapped in hibernate within a mapping definition you'll need to add that
* component class to this SPI or hibernate won't be able to find it as it won't
* know that it should associate it with the appropriate class loader.
* <p>
* This should be used as an SPI marker, and set as the first SPI registry in
* the preloadRegistries property of the SpiRegistryAwareLocalSessionFactoryBean
