/**
 * <p>
 * Factory class to create a CompositeConfiguration from a .xml file using
 * Digester.  By default it can handle the Configurations from commons-
 * configuration.  If you need to add your own, then you can pass in your own
 * digester rules to use.  It is also namespace aware, by providing a
 * digesterRuleNamespaceURI.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <em>Note:</em> Almost all of the features provided by this class and many
 * more are also available for the <code>{@link DefaultConfigurationBuilder}</code>
 * class. <code>DefaultConfigurationBuilder</code> also has a more robust
 * merge algorithm for constructing combined configurations. So it is
 * recommended to use this class instead of <code>ConfigurationFactory</code>.
