public interface EngineConfiguration
```
EngineConfiguration is an interface that the Message Flow subsystem provides so that engine configuration can be provided in a pluggable way. An instance of EngineConfiguration provides configuration for a particular engine instance.
Concrete implementations of this interface will obtain configuration information from some source (examples might be files, Strings, or databases) and are responsible for writing it into an AxisEngine, and writing an AxisEngine's state back out to whatever storage medium is in use.
