036/**
037 * Allows for definition of custom attributes on a document that should be indexed along with that document and made
038 * searchable when performing document searches.  Applications who want to index and expose these custom attributes on
039 * their documents can implement this interface and configure their document type to point to the searchable attributes
040 * that it should use.
041 *
042 * <p>A searchable attribute provides the following basic functions:</p>
043 *
044 * <ul>
045 *     <li>The ability to generate XML content that can be associated with the document and used for indexing purposes.</li>
046 *     <li>The ability to extract attribute values from the document and supply them to the indexer for indexing.</li>
047 *     <li>The ability to define how custom search attributes will be presented in the document search user interface.</li>
048 *     <li>The ability to define validation for custom search attribute criteria which is executed from the document search user interface.</li>
049 * </ul>
050 *
051 * <p>Searchable attributes are mapped to document types via the KEW extension framework (see
052 * {@link org.kuali.rice.kew.api.extension.ExtensionRepositoryService}).
053 *
054 * <p>Through this extension mechanism, searchable attributes are designed to allow for re-use if desired.  To
055 * facilitate this, the name of the document type for which the operation is being performed is included for all such
056 * methods which might make use of it.  Additionally, all of the operations on a searchable attribute are passed the
057 * {@link ExtensionDefinition} which was used to define the instance of the searchable attribute and link it to the
058 * document type.  The extension definition can be defined to include additional configuration which can be used by the
059 * various methods on the searchable attribute implementation.  This allows for creating a single
060 * {@code SearchableAttribute} implementation which can then be parameterized externally by reusing the implementation
061 * in the extension repository, but parameterizing it via one ore more extension definitions.</p>
062 *
063 * <p>This interface is annotated to allow for it to be exposed as a JAXWS web service, so client applications
064 * wanting to publish their own searchable attribute implementations may do so by publishing their search attribute
065 * implementations on the bus.  However, this is optional as it is possible to declare an extension definition for a searchable
066 * attribute which uses the class name instead of a service name.  In these cases, searchable attribute implementations
067 * will be located and invoked via an application's
068 * {@link org.kuali.rice.kew.framework.document.search.DocumentSearchCustomizationHandlerService} endpoint assuming that
069 * the proper application id is associated with the extension definition.</p>
