/**
 * Simple interface to be used for registering objects that
 * can construct {@link XMLInputFactory2} instances with OSGi framework.
 * The added indirection (provider constructing factory) is needed because
 * of impedance between OSGi service objects (which are essentially
 * singletons) and Stax/Stax2 factories which are not.
 *
 * Note: implementations of provider should NOT use introspection
 * via {@link javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory#newInstance} as it will
 * not work with OSGi. Instead, providers should directly construct
 * instances of concrete factory they represent. That is, there will
 * be one provider implementation per concrete Stax/Stax2 implementation
