-/**
- * <p>
- * A specialized set of identified Items. Basically the Container is a set of
- * {@link Item}s, but it imposes certain constraints on its contents. These
- * constraints state the following:
- * </p>
- *
- * <ul>
- * <li>All Items in the Container must have the same number of Properties.
- * <li>All Items in the Container must have the same Property ID's (see
- * {@link Item#getItemPropertyIds()}).
- * <li>All Properties in the Items corresponding to the same Property ID must
- * have the same data type.
- * <li>All Items within a container are uniquely identified by their non-null
- * IDs.
- * </ul>
- *
- * <p>
- * The Container can be visualized as a representation of a relational database
- * table. Each Item in the Container represents a row in the table, and all
- * cells in a column (identified by a Property ID) have the same data type. Note
- * that as with the cells in a database table, no Property in a Container may be
- * empty, though they may contain <code>null</code> values.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * Note that though uniquely identified, the Items in a Container are not
- * necessarily {@link Container.Ordered ordered} or {@link Container.Indexed
- * indexed}.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * Containers can derive Item ID's from the item properties or use other,
- * container specific or user specified identifiers.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * If a container is {@link Filterable filtered} or {@link Sortable sorted},
- * most of the the methods of the container interface and its subinterfaces
- * (container size, {@link #containsId(Object)}, iteration and indices etc.)
- * relate to the filtered and sorted view, not to the full container contents.
- * See individual method javadoc for exceptions to this (adding and removing
- * items).
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * <img src=doc-files/Container_full.gif>
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * The Container interface is split to several subinterfaces so that a class can
- * implement only the ones it needs.
