44	<p>This interface works together with factories. If you want to
45	initialize the object after creation, you should
46	support this interface and you may support other interfaces
47	which offer type-safe initialization methods.  </p>
48

50    and later initialize(), you should call
51    <member>XSingleComponentFactory::createInstanceWithArgumentsAndContext</member>
52    to pass the arguments to the instance. The reason is, that a component may want to
53    return the same instance for the same set of parameters, and it can do so by implementing
54    the factory itself.
