/**
* The runtime artifact representing an entry point, <code>EntryPointContext</code> manages invocation handler
* instances that expose service operations offered by a component in the parent aggregate. The invocation handler
* instance is responsible for dispatching the request down an invocation chain to the target instance. The invocation
* chain may contain {@link org.apache.tuscany.core.invocation.Interceptor}s and
* {@link org.apache.tuscany.core.invocation.MessageHandler}s that implement policies or perform mediations on the
* invocation.
* <p>
* Entry point contexts are used by transport binding artifacts to invoke an operation on a service. The transport
* binding uses an {@link java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler} instance obtained from the <code>EntryPointContext</code>
* to perform the invocation as in:
*
* <pre>
* AggregateContext aggregateContext = ...
* EntryPointContext ctx = (EntryPointContext) aggregateContext.getContext("source");
* Assert.assertNotNull(ctx);
* InvocationHandler handler = (InvocationHandler) ctx.getImplementationInstance();
* Object response = handler.invoke(null, operation, new Object[] { param });
* </pre>
*
* The <code>Proxy</code> instance passed to <code>InvocationHandler</code> may be null as the client is invoking
* directly on the handler.
* <p>
* Alternatively, the following will return a proxy implementing the service interface exposed by the entry point:
*
* <pre>
* AggregateContext aggregateContext = ...
* EntryPointContext ctx = (EntryPointContext) aggregateContext.getContext("source");
* Assert.assertNotNull(ctx);
* HelloWorld proxy = (Helloworld) ctx.getInstance(null); // service name not necessary
* </pre>
*
* The proxy returned will be backed by the entry point invocation chain.
