/**
* Interface representing object that can locate a spring context. The implementation should take up
* little room when serialized.
*
* SpringObjectLocator uses this interface to locate the spring context so that it in turn can
* locate a bean.
*
* Ideal implementations use a static lookup to locate the context.
*
* For Example:
*
* <pre>
* class SpringContextLocator implements ISpringContextLocator
* {
* public ApplicationContext getSpringContext()
* {
* //MyApplication is the subclass of WebApplication used by the application
* return ((MyApplication)Application.get()).getContext();
* }
* }
* </pre>

* @see SpringBeanLocator
