	/**
	 * Loads an instance of a batch artifact referenced in a JSL job definition XML
	 * document.   By "batch artifact", we mean an object implementing some aspect of the
	 * batch programming model defined in JSR352, e.g. a batchlet, a job or step listener, etc.
	 * 
	 *  The artifacts will be reference in JSL, e.g.:
	 * 
	 * 
	 * 
	 *  JSL document snippet:
	 *  ---------------------
	 *  {@literal <}batchlet ref="MyBatchlet"{@literal >} 
	 *  
	 *  Java code snippet: 
	 *  ------------------
	 *  {@literal @}Batchlet("MyBatchlet")
	 *  public class MyBatchletImpl
	 * 
	 * 
	 * 
	 *   No particular classloader scope is assumed by the interface, as the different 
	 * implementations will define behavior here. 
	 *
