    021/**
    022 * Definition of a service decorator, which (by default) is derived from a service decorator method.
    023 * <p/>
    024 * A note on decorator scheduling. The scheduling is based on the desired order of <em>behavior</em>. Thus, if logging
    025 * should occur before security checks, and security checks should occur before transaction management, then the desired
    026 * decorator order is Logging, Security, Transactions. This might be specified as having Security occur after Logging,
    027 * and Transactions occur after Security. It might also be specified by having Logging ordered "before:*", and
    028 * Transactions ordered "after:*" with no specified scheduling for Security.
    029 * <p/>
    030 * Once this order is established, decorators are <em>applied</em> in reverse order. Each decorator's job is to create
    031 * an <em>interceptor</em> for the service, that delegates to the next implementation. This implies that the decorators
    032 * are executed last to first. In the above example, the core service implementation would be passed to the Transaction
    033 * decorator, resulting in the Transaction interceptor. The Transaction interceptor would be passed to the Security
    034 * decorator, resulting in the Security interceptor. The Security interceptor would be passed to the Logging decorator,
    035 * resulting in the Logging interceptor. Thus at runtime, the Logging interceptor will execute first, then delegate to
    036 * the Security interceptor, which would delegate to the Transaction interceptor, which would finally delegate to the
    037 * core service implementation.
    038 * <p/>
    039 * Service decorators are part of the initial version of Tapestry IoC.  Starting in release 5.1, their use has been
    040 * deprecated, in favor of {@link org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.AdvisorDef}, which is based on {@link
    041 * org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.services.AspectInterceptorBuilder}.
    042 * <p/>
    043 * Note: service decorators are applied <em>around</em> the interceptor generated via any {@link
    044 * org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.AdvisorDef}s (for compatibility with Tapestry 5.0). In general, you should use service
    045 * decoration or service advice, not both.
