 */

 /**
 * <p>A Service provides access to service objects that implement a
 * particular service, e.g. transliterators.  Users provide a String
 * id (for example, a locale string) to the service, and get back an
 * object for that id.  Service objects can be any kind of object.  A
 * new service object is returned for each query. The caller is
 * responsible for deleting it.</p>
 *
 * <p>Services 'canonicalize' the query ID and use the canonical ID to
 * query for the service.  The service also defines a mechanism to
 * 'fallback' the ID multiple times.  Clients can optionally request
 * the actual ID that was matched by a query when they use an ID to
 * retrieve a service object.</p>
 *
 * <p>Service objects are instantiated by ICUServiceFactory objects
 * registered with the service.  The service queries each
 * ICUServiceFactory in turn, from most recently registered to
 * earliest registered, until one returns a service object.  If none
 * responds with a service object, a fallback ID is generated, and the
 * process repeats until a service object is returned or until the ID
 * has no further fallbacks.</p>
 *
 * <p>In ICU 2.4, UObject (the base class of service instances) does
 * not define a polymorphic clone function.  ICUService uses clones to
 * manage ownership.  Thus, for now, ICUService defines an abstract
 * method, cloneInstance, that clients must implement to create clones
 * of the service instances.  This may change in future releases of
 * ICU.</p>
 *
 * <p>ICUServiceFactories can be dynamically registered and
 * unregistered with the service.  When registered, an
 * ICUServiceFactory is installed at the head of the factory list, and
 * so gets 'first crack' at any keys or fallback keys.  When
 * unregistered, it is removed from the service and can no longer be
 * located through it.  Service objects generated by this factory and
 * held by the client are unaffected.</p>
 *
 * <p>If a service has variants (e.g., the different variants of
 * BreakIterator) an ICUServiceFactory can use the prefix of the
 * ICUServiceKey to determine the variant of a service to generate.
 * If it does not support all variants, it can request
 * previously-registered factories to handle the ones it does not
 * support.</p>
 *
 * <p>ICUService uses ICUServiceKeys to query factories and perform
 * fallback.  The ICUServiceKey defines the canonical form of the ID,
 * and implements the fallback strategy.  Custom ICUServiceKeys can be
 * defined that parse complex IDs into components that
 * ICUServiceFactories can more easily use.  The ICUServiceKey can
 * cache the results of this parsing to save repeated effort.
 * ICUService provides convenience APIs that take UnicodeStrings and
 * generate default ICUServiceKeys for use in querying.</p>
 *
 * <p>ICUService provides API to get the list of IDs publicly
 * supported by the service (although queries aren't restricted to
 * this list).  This list contains only 'simple' IDs, and not fully
 * unique IDs.  ICUServiceFactories are associated with each simple ID
 * and the responsible factory can also return a human-readable
 * localized version of the simple ID, for use in user interfaces.
 * ICUService can also provide an array of the all the localized
 * visible IDs and their corresponding internal IDs.</p>
 *
 * <p>ICUService implements ICUNotifier, so that clients can register
 * to receive notification when factories are added or removed from
 * the service.  ICUService provides a default EventListener
 * subinterface, ServiceListener, which can be registered with the
 * service.  When the service changes, the ServiceListener's
 * serviceChanged method is called with the service as the
 * argument.</p>
 *
 * <p>The ICUService API is both rich and generic, and it is expected
 * that most implementations will statically 'wrap' ICUService to
 * present a more appropriate API-- for example, to declare the type
 * of the objects returned from get, to limit the factories that can
 * be registered with the service, or to define their own listener
 * interface with a custom callback method.  They might also customize
 * ICUService by overriding it, for example, to customize the
 * ICUServiceKey and fallback strategy.  ICULocaleService is a
 * subclass of ICUService that uses Locale names as IDs and uses
 * ICUServiceKeys that implement the standard resource bundle fallback
 * strategy.  Most clients will wish to subclass it instead of
 * ICUService.</p>
