Internal Changes

• Interface com.opensymphony.xwork2.inject.Factory was extended with a new method Class<? extends T> type(); - it's due to allow ContainerBuilder properly initialise beans using com.opensymphony.xwork2.inject.Initializable and com.opensymphony.xwork2.inject.EarlyInitializable interfaces. See WW-4905 for more details.
