/**
 * This class supports run-time loading of configuration data. It loads the configurations from an
 * XML file that conforms to the configuration schema. By design this class does not get used
 * automatically, nor does it change the state of the system directly. A programmer must choose to
 * support this mechanism in their program, and then must explicitly use loaded elements. This way,
 * the programmer still has full control over their security model, but also has the convenience of
 * re-using a common configuration mechanism. See
 * http://sunxacml.sourceforge.net/schema/config-0.4.xsd for the valid schema.
 * <p>
 * Note that becuase this doesn't tie directly into the rest of the code, you are still free to
 * design your own run-time configuration mechanisms. This is simply provided as a convenience, and
 * so that all programmers can start from a common point.
