Interface ServiceLocator

@Deprecated public interface ServiceLocator
Deprecated.
Use some out-of-the-box DI implementation instead.
A simple infrastructure to programmatically wire the various components of the repository system together when it is used outside of an IoC container. Once a concrete implementation of a service locator has been setup, clients could use 
 RepositorySystem repoSystem = serviceLocator.getService( RepositorySystem.class );
to acquire the repository system. Components that implement Service will be given an opportunity to acquire further components from the locator, thereby allowing to create the complete object graph of the repository system.
