/**
 * Deprecated as 
 * of Jakarta Server Faces 2.2.  The same functionality is more correctly provided by
 * {@link javax.faces.application.ResourceHandler}. Provide
 * a hook to decorate or override
 * the way that Facelets loads template files.  A default implementation
 * must be provided that satisfies the requirements for loading
 * templates as in Pre-Jakarta Server Faces 2.0 Facelets.

 * 

 * If a <context-param> with the param name equal
 * to the value of {@link #FACELETS_RESOURCE_RESOLVER_PARAM_NAME}
 * exists, the runtime must interpret its value as a fully qualified
 * classname of a java class that extends ResourceResolver
 * and has a zero argument public constructor or a one argument public
 * constructor where the type of the argument is
 * ResourceResolver. If this param is set and its value
 * does not conform to those requirements, the runtime must log a
 * message and continue. If it does conform to these requirements and
 * has a one-argument constructor, the default
 * ResourceResolver must be passed to the constructor. If
 * it has a zero argument constructor it is invoked directly. In either
 * case, the new ResourceResolver replaces the old
 * one.
