     * 
     * Service providers that implement this service must be called by the Jakarta Faces runtime exactly once for
     * each implementation, at startup, before any requests have been serviced. Before calling the
     * {@link #populateApplicationConfiguration} method, the runtime must ensure that the {@code Document} argument is empty
     * aside from being pre-configured to be in the proper namespace for an Application Configuration Resources file:
     * {@code https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee}. Implementations of this service must ensure that any changes made to the
     * argument {@code
     * Document} conform to that schema as defined in the specification. The Jakarta Faces runtime is not required to
     * validate the {@code Document} after control returns from the service implementation, though it may do so.

     * If the document is made to contain an {@code } element, as specified in the 
     * section 11.3.8 "Ordering of Artifacts" in the Jakarta Faces Specification Document,
     * the document will be prioritized accordingly. Otherwise, the
     * runtime must place the document in the list of other Application Configuration Resources documents at the "lowest"
     * priority, meaning any conflicts that may arise between the argument document and any other Application Configuration
     * Resources are resolved in favor of the other document.
