32  /**
33   * <p>
34   * A fully-functional, reflection-based implementation of the {@code ConfigurationBuilderProvider} interface which can
35   * deal with the default tags defining configuration sources.
36   * </p>
37   * <p>
38   * An instance of this class is initialized with the names of the {@code ConfigurationBuilder} class used by this
39   * provider and the concrete {@code Configuration} class. The {@code ConfigurationBuilder} class must be derived from
40   * {@link BasicConfigurationBuilder}. When asked for the builder object, an instance of the builder class is created and
41   * initialized from the bean declaration associated with the current configuration source.
42   * </p>
43   * <p>
44   * {@code ConfigurationBuilder} objects are configured using parameter objects. When declaring configuration sources in
45   * XML it should not be necessary to define the single parameter objects. Rather, simple and complex properties are set
46   * in the typical way of a bean declaration (i.e. as attributes of the current XML element or as child elements). This
47   * class creates all supported parameter objects (whose names also must be provided at construction time) and takes care
48   * that their properties are initialized according to the current bean declaration.
49   * </p>
50   * <p>
51   * The use of reflection to create builder instances allows a generic implementation supporting many concrete builder
52   * classes. Another reason for this approach is that builder classes are only loaded if actually needed. Some
53   * specialized {@code Configuration} implementations require specific external dependencies which should not be
54   * mandatory for the use of {@code CombinedConfigurationBuilder}. Because such classes are lazily loaded, an application
55   * only has to include the dependencies it actually uses.
56   * </p>
