/**
 * JSF VariableResolver that first delegates to the Spring JSF variable 
 * resolver. The sole purpose of this variable resolver is to look out
 * for the <code>Container</code> variable. If this variable is encountered
 * the current viewId is examined. If the current viewId matches the 
 * configured dialog or wizard container the appropriate manager object is
 * returned i.e. DialogManager or WizardManager.
 * 
 * <p>Configure this resolver in your <code>faces-config.xml</code> file as follows:
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;application&gt;
 *   ...
