/**
 * Represents a searchable set of XML Schema component definitions.
 * <p>
 * SchemaTypeLoader is somewhat analogous to {@link java.lang.ClassLoader},
 * because it is responsible for finding {@link SchemaComponent} definitions
 * by name, yet it is not responsible for being able to enumerate all the
 * component definitons available. (If you wish to enumerate component
 * definitions, see {@link SchemaTypeSystem}.) There are some ways in which
 * SchemaTypeSystems are dissimilar from ClassLoaders, however.
 * Since XML Schema has a number of instance-oriented typing mechanisms
 * (such as wildcards) that do not exist in Java, a SchemaTypeLoader is
 * not associated with a type; instead, a SchemaTypeLoader is associated
 * with each XML instance.
 * <p>
 * Every XML instance is loaded within the context of a SchemaTypeLoader;
 * the SchemaTypeLoader for an instance is used to resolve all type definitions
 * within the instance and for applying type-sensitive methods such as
 * {@link XmlObject#validate}.
 * <p>
 * Normally the SchemaTypeLoader being used for all instances is the
 * context type loader (that is, the SchemaTypeLoader returned from
 * {@link XmlBeans#getContextTypeLoader()}).  The context type loader
 * consults the thread's context ClassLoader (see {@link Thread#getContextClassLoader()})
 * to find schema type defintions that are available on the classpath.
 * The net result is that you can use schema types simply by putting
 * their compiled schema JARs on your classpath.
 * If you wish to load instances using a different SchemaTypeLoader, then you must
 * call {@link #parse} methods on the SchemaTypeLoader instance explicitly
 * rather than using the normal convenient Factory methods.
 * <p>
 * A SchemaTypeLoader can be obtained by dynamically loading XSD files
 * using {@link XmlBeans#loadXsd}, or by assembling other SchemaTypeLoaders
 * or SchemaTypeSystems on a path using {@link XmlBeans#typeLoaderUnion}.
 * 
 * @see XmlBeans#loadXsd
 * @see XmlBeans#getContextTypeLoader
