61        <p>
62        A detection component must be specified by its uno implementation name and will be created then.
63        Every new created component can be initialized with its own configuration data
64        and may given optional arguments of the corresponding createInstanceWithArguments() request. To do so the
65        service must support the optional interface <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XInitialization</type>.
66        The arguments parameter will have the following structure:
67        <ul>
68            <li>sequence< Any >[0] contains a sequence< <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">PropertyValue</type> >,
69                which represent the configuration data set of this detector component. The used properties are the same, as
70                they are available at the container interface of this factory service. (see below)</li>
71            <li>Every following item of the argument list sequence< Any >[1..n] contains the copied argument of the
72                corresponding createInstanceWithArguments() call. That means: Item 0 or the original list was copied as
73                item 1 of the destination list ... etc.

132        Because the complexity of such configuration set can be very high,
133        it does not seem very useful to update the underlying configuration layer
134        on every container change request immediately. Another strategy can be to
135        make all changes (adding/changing/removing of items) and call flush at the end.
136        That will validate the whole container and reject inconsistent data sets.
137        Only in case all made changes was correct, they will be written back to the
138        configuration. Further this interface provides the possibility, that interested
139        changes listener can be registered too.
