/**
 * This interface defines the OSGi service interface for the JNDIProviderAdmin
 * service.
 * 
 * This service provides the ability to resolve JNDI References in a dynamic
 * fashion that does not require calls to
 * {@code NamingManager.getObjectInstance()}. The methods of this service
 * provide similar reference resolution, but rely on the OSGi Service Registry
 * in order to find {@code ObjectFactory} instances that can convert a Reference
 * to an Object.
 * 
 * This service will typically be used by OSGi-aware JNDI Service Providers.
