/**
 * JSF NavigationHandler implementation that delegates to a NavigationHandler
 * bean obtained from the Spring root WebApplicationContext.
 *
 * <p>Configure this handler proxy in your faces-config.xml file
 * as follows:
 *
 * <pre>
 * <application>
 *   ...
 *   <navigation-handler>
 * 	   org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingNavigationHandlerProxy
 *   </navigation-handler>
 *   ...
 * </application></pre>
 *
 * By default, the Spring ApplicationContext will be searched for the NavigationHandler
 * under the bean name "jsfNavigationHandler". In the simplest case, this is a plain
 * Spring bean definition like the following. However, all of Spring's bean configuration
 * power can be applied to such a bean, in particular all flavors of dependency injection.
 *
 * <pre>
 * <bean name="jsfNavigationHandler" class="mypackage.MyNavigationHandler">
 *   <property name="myProperty" ref="myOtherBean"/>
 * </bean></pre>
 *
 * The target NavigationHandler bean will typically extend the standard JSF
 * NavigationHandler class. However, note that decorating the original
 * NavigationHandler (the JSF provider's default handler) is <i>not supported
 * in such a scenario, since we can't inject the original handler in standard
 * JSF style (that is, as constructor argument).
 *
 * <p>For decorating the original NavigationHandler, make sure that your
 * target bean extends Spring's <b>DecoratingNavigationHandler class. This
 * allows to pass in the original handler as method argument, which this proxy
 * automatically detects. Note that a DecoratingNavigationHandler subclass
 * will still work as standard JSF NavigationHandler as well!
 *
 * <p>This proxy may be subclassed to change the bean name used to search for the
 * navigation handler, change the strategy used to obtain the target handler,
 * or change the strategy used to access the ApplicationContext (normally obtained
 * via {@link FacesContextUtils#getWebApplicationContext(FacesContext)}).
