41   * <p>
42   * A helper class for creating bean instances that are defined in configuration files.
43   * </p>
44   * <p>
45   * This class provides utility methods related to bean creation operations. These methods simplify such operations
46   * because a client need not deal with all involved interfaces. Usually, if a bean declaration has already been
47   * obtained, a single method call is necessary to create a new bean instance.
48   * </p>
49   * <p>
50   * This class also supports the registration of custom bean factories. Implementations of the {@link BeanFactory}
51   * interface can be registered under a symbolic name using the {@code registerBeanFactory()} method. In the
52   * configuration file the name of the bean factory can be specified in the bean declaration. Then this factory will be
53   * used to create the bean.
54   * </p>
55   * <p>
56   * In order to create beans using {@code BeanHelper}, create and instance of this class and initialize it accordingly -
57   * a default {@link BeanFactory} can be passed to the constructor, and additional bean factories can be registered (see
58   * above). Then this instance can be used to create beans from {@link BeanDeclaration} objects. {@code BeanHelper} is
59   * thread-safe. So an instance can be passed around in an application and shared between multiple components.
60   * </p>
