/**
 * ContainerImpl is the equivelant of a Service Provider Interface (SPI) for
 * the Expresso component containers.  By implementing your own ContinainerImpl
 * inteface, you can have its behavior 'duplicated' throughout all the other
 * containers.  This particular behavior is specified by the ContainerFactory
 * class.
 * <p>There is a one to one relationship between a <code>ComponentContainer</code>
 * and a Containable object.  The ComponentContainer always wraps the Containable
 * object and the Containable object can be retrieved via the getContainercomponent()
 * method.</p>
 * <p>The particular ComponentContainer implementation set for each Containable
 * object is determined by the SystemFactory.  Although it does not currently
 * have code to dynamically load other ComponentContainer implementations, it
 * would be rather simple to do so.</p>
