/**
* Feature for conveying a request that materials forbidden to the requester
* by resource policy be made available by other means.
*
* There are several methods of making the resource(s) available to the requester:
* 1. The request will be e-mailed to a responsible party for consideration and action.
* Find details in the user documentation under the rubric "Request a Copy".
*
* Mailing is handled by {@link RequestItemEmailNotifier}. Responsible
* parties are represented by {@link RequestItemAuthor}
*
* 2. A unique 48-char token will be generated and included in a special weblink emailed to the requester.
* This link will provide access to the requester as though they had READ policy access while the access period
* has not expired, or forever if the access period is null.
*
*
This package includes several "strategy" classes which discover
* responsible parties in various ways. See
* {@link RequestItemSubmitterStrategy} and the classes which extend it, and
* others which implement {@link RequestItemAuthorExtractor}. A strategy class
* must be configured and identified as {@link requestItemAuthorExtractor}
* (note capitalization) for injection into code which requires Request
* a Copy services.
