/**
* Interface for all Xlet-bound providers. An instance of an
* Xlet-bound provider
* provides its services for exactly one xlet: The xlet with which
* that provider is registered.
* The classes of the provider are in the classloader
* hierarchy of the xlet itself. This leads to a very simple mechanism,
* because there are no issues with instance sharing between the provider
* and the xlet that uses the provider. However, it has the disadvantage
* that every xlet that needs the services provided must carry its own
* copy of the provider.
