    /** This service describes the base functionality of storages.

        <p>
        Please see below the description of additional requirements for the
        file system storage implementation.
        </p>

        <dl>

            <dd>
                <p>
                A file system storage is created either by
                StorageFactory or by XStorage
                interface and is controlled by refcounting. In case
                refcounting is decreased to zero the storage will be
                disposed automatically.
                </p>

                <p>
                In case a storage object is disposed the elements
                ( substorages and substreams ) are not affected.
                </p>

                        service implementation.

                    <dt>XStorage::copyLastCommitTo()</dt>
                    <dd>
                        Since this service implementation supports no transaction
                        this method just creates a copy of the storage in its
                        current state.
                    </dd>

                    <dd>
                        If the element is opened and it is a stream element
                        the removing will fail. If the element is opened and
                        it is a storage element, all the contents that can be
                        removed will be removed.
