/**
* A Component Context object is used by a component instance to interact with
* its execution context including locating services by reference name. Each
* component instance has a unique Component Context.
*
*
* A component instance may have an activate method. If a component instance has
* a suitable and accessible activate method, this method will be called when a
* component configuration is activated. If the activate method takes a
* {@code ComponentContext} argument, it will be passed the component instance's
* Component Context object. If the activate method takes a
* {@code BundleContext} argument, it will be passed the component instance's
* Bundle Context object. If the activate method takes a {@code Map} argument,
* it will be passed an unmodifiable Map containing the component properties.
*
*
* A component instance may have a deactivate method. If a component instance
* has a suitable and accessible deactivate method, this method will be called
* when the component configuration is deactivated. If the deactivate method
* takes a {@code ComponentContext} argument, it will be passed the component
* instance's Component Context object. If the deactivate method takes a
* {@code BundleContext} argument, it will be passed the component instance's
* Bundle Context object. If the deactivate method takes a {@code Map} argument,
* it will be passed an unmodifiable Map containing the component properties. If
* the deactivate method takes an {@code int} or {@code Integer} argument, it
* will be passed the reason code for the component instance's deactivation.
