51   * This interface is the abstraction of any type of source that can interact
52   * with the Source Code Generator. From the Source Code Generator point of view,
53   * the source document used to generate Java source code is totally transparent
54   * and is not exposed.
55   * <p>
56   * Specific implementation of that class will represent the source document
57   * used. For instance when generating source code from an XML Schema, the source
58   * generator will interact with an
59   * {@link org.exolab.castor.builder.binding.XMLBindingComponent} whereas when
60   * generating source code from an UML model object model, the source generator
61   * will interact with an UMLBindingComponent (This is obviously just an example,
62   * no UML Object Model has been as of today integrated in Castor).
63   * <p>
64   * A binding component can be of three different types:
65   * <ul>
66   *   <li>MEMBER: this type of BindingComponent will represent a java class
67   *       member.</li>
68   *   <li>INTERFACE: this type of BindingComponent will represent a java
69   *       interface.</li>
70   *   <li>CLASS: this type of BindingComponent will represent a java class.</li>
