 * application that is utilizing Jakarta Server Faces.  This instance can be
 * acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:
 *  *   ExternalContextFactory factory = (ExternalContextFactory)
 *    FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.EXTERNAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
 * 
 *
 * Usage: extend this class and push the implementation being wrapped to the
 * constructor and use {@link #getWrapped} to access the instance being wrapped.
