/**
 * Service-provider interface for creating container instances.
 *
 * If supported by the provider, a container instance of the requested Java type
 * will be created.
 * 

 * The created container is responsible for listening on a communication chanel
 * for new client requests, dispatching these requests to the registered
 * {@link ApplicationHandler Jersey application handler} using the handler's
 * {@link ApplicationHandler#apply(org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerRequest)}
 * apply(requestContext)} method and sending the responses provided by the
 * application back to the client.
 * 

 * A provider shall support a one-to-one mapping between a type that is not of
 * the type Object. A provider may support
 * more than one one-to-one mapping or a mapping of sub-types of a type
 * (that is not of the type Object). A provider shall not conflict with other
 * providers.
 * 

 * An implementation (a service-provider) identifies itself by registering a proper
 * HK2 {@code ContainterProvider} contract binding in a custom HK2 binder configured
 * in the Jersey application handler.
 * Alternatively, the implementation can identify itself by placing a provider-configuration
 * file (if not already present), {@code org.glassfish.jersey.server.spi.ContainerProvider}
 * in the resource directory META-INF/services, and adding the fully
 * qualified service-provider-class of the implementation in the file.
