/**
 * General purpose abstract class that describes an API for retrieving
 * Locale-sensitive messages from underlying resource locations of an
 * unspecified design, and optionally utilizing the <code>MessageFormat</code>
 * class to produce internationalized messages with parametric replacement.
 * <p>
 * Calls to <code>getMessage()</code> variants without a <code>Locale</code>
 * argument are presumed to be requesting a message string in the default
 * <code>Locale</code> for this JVM.
 * <p>
 * Calls to <code>getMessage()</code> with an unknown key, or an unknown
 * <code>Locale</code> will return <code>null</code> if the
 * <code>returnNull</code> property is set to <code>true</code>.  Otherwise,
 * a suitable error message will be returned instead.
 * <p>
 * <strong>IMPLEMENTATION NOTE</strong> - Classes that extend this class
 * must be Serializable so that instances may be used in distributable
 * application server environments.
