 * Maintains an ordered composite list of child <code>ELResolver</code>s.
 * <p>Though only a single <code>ELResolver</code> is associated with an
 * <code>ELContext</code>, there are usually multiple resolvers considered
 * for any given variable or property resolution. <code>ELResolver</code>s
 * are combined together using a <code>CompositeELResolver</code>, to define
 * rich semantics for evaluating an expression.</p>
 * <p>For the {@link #getValue}, {@link #getType}, {@link #setValue} and
 * {@link #isReadOnly} methods, an <code>ELResolver</code> is not
 * responsible for resolving all possible (base, property) pairs. In fact,
 * most resolvers will only handle a <code>base</code> of a single type.
 * To indicate that a resolver has successfully resolved a particular
 * (base, property) pair, it must set the <code>propertyResolved</code>
 * property of the <code>ELContext</code> to <code>true</code>. If it could 
 * not handle the given pair, it must leave this property alone. The caller
 * must ignore the return value of the method if <code>propertyResolved</code>
 * is <code>false</code>.</p>
 * <p>The <code>CompositeELResolver</code> initializes the
 * <code>ELContext.propertyResolved</code> flag to <code>false</code>, and uses 
 * it as a stop condition for iterating through its component resolvers.</p>
 * <p>The <code>ELContext.propertyResolved</code> flag is not used for the 
 * design-time methods {@link #getFeatureDescriptors} and
 * {@link #getCommonPropertyType}. Instead, results are collected and 
 * combined from all child <code>ELResolver</code>s for these methods.</p>
