    41 /**
    42 * CAiwServiceHandler is the main class of the Application Interworking
    43 * Framework. The Service Handler implements support for dynamically
    44 * loadable service providers which offer services to consumer applications. 
    45 * The Service Handler maps consumers and service providers together via 
    46 * interests and data agreements and hides the consumers from the providers. 
    47 *
    48 * SERVICE is any command or functionality offered by a provider to 
    49 * consumer. The service includes typically menu item UI elements,
    50 * but it can also just an engine type of command which executes specific 
    51 * functionality and reports status back to the consumer.
    52 *
    53 * CONSUMER application accesses interesting services offered by
    54 * service provider(s). The consumer uses only those services in which
    55 * it is interested in. The interest is expressed using a set of criteria
    56 * items.
    57 *
    58 * INTEREST is a list of criteria items.
    59 *
    60 * CRITERIA consists of set of attributes which guide the AIW Framework to use
    61 * only those providers in which the consumer is interested in.
    62 * The criteria consists of following attributes:
    63 *   - Criteria UID (we can allocate pre-defined criteria items).
    64 *   - Service command UID (we can allocate pre-defined commands).
    65 *   - Content MIME type (string).
    66 *   - Additional options (variant data type just in case).
    67 *
    68 * PROVIDER produces those services for a consumer that match the given criteria 
    69 * specified by the consumer. A provider can offer menu items and their command
    70 * handling logic to the consumer applications. A provider can also offer base
    71 * services that don't require any UI elements.
    72 *
    73 * DATA AGREEMENT is an agreement between consumer and provider about parameters 
    74 * needed to be passed in a use case.
