-/**
- * ComponentLocator ties together several different concepts.  First, it 
- * deals with how a system should be put together.  It manages different 
- * types of components:
- *   - Manager: Singleton implementation of a certain process.
- *   - Adapter: Different singleton implementations for the same functions.
- *   - SystemIntegrityChecker: Singletons that are called at the load time.
- *   - Dao: Data Access Objects.
- *   
- * These components can be declared in several ways:
- *   - ComponentLibrary - A Java class that declares the above components.  The
- *     advantage of declaring components here is they change automatically
- *     with any refactoring.
- *   - components specification - An xml file that overrides the 
- *     ComponentLibrary.  The advantage of declaring components here is 
- *     they can change by hand on every deployment.
- * 
- * The two are NOT mutually exclusive.  ComponentLocator basically locates 
- * the components specification, which specifies the ComponentLibrary within.  
- * Components found in the ComponentLibrary are overridden by components 
- * found in components specification.
- * 
- * Components specification can also be nested.  One components specification
- * can point to another components specification and, therefore, "inherits"
- * those components but still override one or more components.  ComponentLocator 
- * reads the child components specification first and follow the chain up.  
- * the child's components overrides the ones in the parent. 
- * 
- * ComponentLocator looks for the components specification as follows:
- *   1. By following the path specified by "cloud-stack-components-specification"
- *      within the environment.properties file.
- *   2. Look for components.xml in the class path.
- *   
- * ComponentLocator also ties in component injection.  Components can specify 
- * an @Inject annotation to components ComponentLocator knows.  When 
- * instantiating components, ComponentLocator attempts to inject these 
- * components.
- *
