61               For identification the interface <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XServiceInfo</type>
62               is requested on the given module. Because all module service registrations must be unique
63               this value can be queried and checked against the configuration.
64
65               Since OOo 2.3.0 also the optional interface <type>XModule</type> will be used.
66               If its exists it will be preferred.
67
68       @param  Module
69               Possible objects for this parameter can be the following one:

73                       A frame contains (against a component window) a controller.
74                       Such controller represent the module (in case no model exists).
75                   </li>

78                       A controller can be bound to a model. Then the model represent the module.
79                       If no model exists - the controller is used for identification.
80                   </li>

83                       A model represent a module everytimes and can be used for
84                       identification directly.
