* Receives configuration information, selects the appropriate

*
* Usage:
*
* //provided by one of the Validation bootstrap methods
* Configuration<?> configuration =
* ValidatorFactory = configuration
* .messageInterpolator( new CustomMessageInterpolator() )
* .buildValidatorFactory();
*
*
* By default, the configuration information is retrieved from
* {@code META-INF/validation.xml}.
* It is possible to override the configuration retrieved from the XML file
* by using one or more of the {@code Configuration} methods.
*
* The {@link ValidationProviderResolver} is specified at configuration time
* (see {@link ValidationProvider}).
* If none is explicitly requested, the default {@code ValidationProviderResolver} is used.
*
* The provider is selected in the following way:
*
* - if a specific provider is requested programmatically using
* {@link Validation#byProvider(Class)}, find the first provider implementing
* the provider class requested and use it
* - if a specific provider is requested in {@code META-INF/validation.xml},
* find the first provider implementing the provider class requested and use it
* - otherwise, use the first provider returned by the
* {@code ValidationProviderResolver}
*
*
* Implementations are not meant to be thread-safe.
