public interface CompositeArchivist

Composite archivists are just like any other archivists except they get a chance at looking at the archive before other archivists do The main reason for this tag interface is that some archivists might be tricked into thinking a composite archive is theirs when in fact they only own a part of it. For instance, take a war file inside an ear file. and asssume that the war file contains some .jsp files. The archivist responsible for handling the war file could be fooled into thinking the ear file is a war file since it contains jsp files, yet in reality, it only owns one of the sub archive bundled inside the composite ear file.
