/**
 * This interface provides access to data needed by a JBI component
 * about the JBI environment in which it is installed, as well providing
 * the means to allow the component to inform the JBI environment about
 * services provided by this component. This interface provides methods
 * for the following functions:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Get the <bold>DeliveryChannel</bold> for this component. This is
 *       required to allow the component to send and receive message
 *       exchanges.</li>
 *   <li><bold>Activate</bold> (and deactivate) service endpoints provided
 *       by this component.</li>
 *   <li><bold>Register</bold> (and deregister) external endpoints provided
 *       by this component.</li>
 *   <li><bold>Query</bold> available endpoints (internal and external).</li>
 *   <li><bold>Query</bold> various data about the component, as installed
 *       in the JBI environment (name, workspace root, install root, initial
 *       JNDI context, MBean Server, Transaction Manager).</li>
 *   <li><bold>Loggers</bold>. Obtain the component's logger and subloggers.</li>
 *   <li><bold>MBean name creator</bold>. Access a utility for creating
 *       custom MBean names.</li>
 *   <li><bold>EPR Resolver</bold>. Ask JBI to resolve an endpoint reference
 *       (EPR), converting it into a service endpoint.</li>
 *
 * Note: The term "NMR" (meaning Normalized Message Router) is used here to refer
 * to the messaging system of the JBI implementation. This term is used as a
 * synonym for the JBI implementation, and refers only to the logical message
 * routing functions of a JBI implementation. It is not meant to require that
 * JBI implementations literally have a subsystem named "NMR".
