/**
 * Convenient superclass for application objects that want to be aware of
 * the application context, e.g. for custom lookup of collaborating beans
 * or for context-specific resource access. It saves the application
 * context reference and provides an initialization callback method.
 * Furthermore, it offers numerous convenience methods for message lookup.
 *
 * <p>There is no requirement to subclass this class: It just makes things
 * a little easier if you need access to the context, e.g. for access to
 * file resources or to the message source. Note that many application
 * objects do not need to be aware of the application context at all,
 * as they can receive collaborating beans via bean references.
 *
 * <p>Many framework classes are derived from this class, particularly
 * within the web support.
