/**
* A context for persistent storage integrated with OSGi and
* {@link SecurityContext}.
*
* How the data is going to be stored (database, files) is implementation
* dependent. But how the resources are structured (hierarchical, semantics)
* is defined by the client implementing the {@link Resource} class.
* [code]
* class SemanticResource extends SemanticEntity implements Resource { ... }
* ...
* StorageContext ctx = StorageContext.enter(); // Enters the current storage service.
* try {
* // Stores resource.
* SemanticResource logoId = new SemanticResource(
* "http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#Logo|MyCompany");
* ctx.write(logoId, logoImg); // May raise SecurityException.
* ...
* // Retrieves resource.
* Image logoImg = ctx.read(logoId); // May raise SecurityException.
* } finally {
* ctx.exit();
* }[/code]
*
* Permission to read/write resource values may or not be granted at all
* or only for particular resources. Sensitive data should always be
* encrypted (e.g. using a {@code SecuredStorageContext} sub-class).
* There is no limit in the size of the data being stored (except the actual
* storage available). It is nonetheless recommended to split large data
* set in smaller resources to allow for partial/concurrent retrieval.
