/**
*
* A specialized implementation of a {@code FileLocationStrategy} which
* encapsulates an arbitrary number of {@code FileLocationStrategy} objects.
*
*
* A collection with the wrapped {@code FileLocationStrategy} objects is passed
* at construction time. During a [{@code locate()} operation the wrapped
* strategies are called one after the other until one returns a non null
* URL. This URL is returned. If none of the wrapped strategies is able to
* resolve the passed in {@link FileLocator}, result is null. This is
* similar to the chain of responsibility design pattern.
*
*
* This class, together with the provided concrete {@code FileLocationStrategy}
* implementations, offers a convenient way to customize the lookup for
* configuration files: Just add the desired concrete strategies to a
* {@code CombinedLocationStrategy} object. If necessary, custom strategies can
* be implemented if there are specific requirements. Note that the order in
* which strategies are added to a {@code CombinedLocationStrategy} matters: sub
* strategies are queried in the same order as they appear in the collection
* passed to the constructor.
