  /**
   * <p>
   * A class that manages persistence of an associated {@link FileBased} object.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * Instances of this class can be used to load and save arbitrary objects implementing the {@code FileBased} interface
   * in a convenient way from and to various locations. At construction time the {@code FileBased} object to manage is
   * passed in. Basically, this object is assigned a location from which it is loaded and to which it can be saved. The
   * following possibilities exist to specify such a location:
   * </p>
   * <ul>
   * <li>URLs: With the method {@code setURL()} a full URL to the configuration source can be specified. This is the most
   * flexible way. Note that the {@code save()} methods support only <em>file:</em> URLs.</li>
   * <li>Files: The {@code setFile()} method allows to specify the configuration source as a file. This can be either a
   * relative or an absolute file. In the former case the file is resolved based on the current directory.</li>
   * <li>As file paths in string form: With the {@code setPath()} method a full path to a configuration file can be
   * provided as a string.</li>
   * <li>Separated as base path and file name: The base path is a string defining either a local directory or a URL. It
   * can be set using the {@code setBasePath()} method. The file name, non surprisingly, defines the name of the
   * configuration file.</li>
   * </ul>
   * <p>
   * An instance stores a location. The {@code load()} and {@code save()} methods that do not take an argument make use of
   * this internal location. Alternatively, it is also possible to use overloaded variants of {@code load()} and
   * {@code save()} which expect a location. In these cases the location specified takes precedence over the internal one;
   * the internal location is not changed.
   * </p>
   * <p>
   * The actual position of the file to be loaded is determined by a {@link FileLocationStrategy} based on the location
   * information that has been provided. By providing a custom location strategy the algorithm for searching files can be
   * adapted. Save operations require more explicit information. They cannot rely on a location strategy because the file
   * to be written may not yet exist. So there may be some differences in the way location information is interpreted by
   * load and save operations. In order to avoid this, the following approach is recommended:
   * </p>
   * <ul>
   * <li>Use the desired {@code setXXX()} methods to define the location of the file to be loaded.</li>
   * <li>Call the {@code locate()} method. This method resolves the referenced file (if possible) and fills out all
   * supported location information.</li>
   * <li>Later on, {@code save()} can be called. This method now has sufficient information to store the file at the
   * correct location.</li>
   * </ul>
   * <p>
   * When loading or saving a {@code FileBased} object some additional functionality is performed if the object implements
   * one of the following interfaces:
   * </p>
   * <ul>
   * <li>{@code FileLocatorAware}: In this case an object with the current file location is injected before the load or
   * save operation is executed. This is useful for {@code FileBased} objects that depend on their current location, e.g.
   * to resolve relative path names.</li>
   * <li>{@code SynchronizerSupport}: If this interface is implemented, load and save operations obtain a write lock on
   * the {@code FileBased} object before they access it. (In case of a save operation, a read lock would probably be
   * sufficient, but because of the possible injection of a {@link FileLocator} object it is not allowed to perform
   * multiple save operations in parallel; therefore, by obtaining a write lock, we are on the safe side.)</li>
   * </ul>
   * <p>
   * This class is thread-safe.
  * </p>
  *
  * @since 2.0
