provide
...
easy-to-use
...
yet

fully-featured
...
Internet
...
services.

Configuration
...
All
...
protocol
...
providers
...
are
...
configured
...

similar

manner.
...
Behind

the

all

Configuration
...
beans
...
inherit
...
from
...
the
...
same
...
ServiceConfiguration
...
and,
...
therefore,
...
they
...
share
...
many
...
of
...
the
...
same
...
configuration
...
parameters.
