/**
 * @class AliHLTSampleComponent1
 * An HLT sample component.
 * This component does not any data processing at all. It just
 * illustrates the existence of several components in ine library and
 * allows to set up a very simple chain with different components.
 * Component illustrates the basic functionality and component initialization.
 * See @ref sample-component1.C
 *
 * <h2>General properties:</h2>
 *
 * Component ID: \b Sample-component1 <br>
 * Library: \b libAliHLTSample.so     <br>
 * Input Data Types: @ref kAliHLTAnyDataType <br>
 * Output Data Types: none <br>
 *
 * <h2>Mandatory arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -mandatory1     <i> teststring   </i> <br>
 *      an argument with one parameter
 * \li -mandatory2                           <br>
 *      an argument without parameters
 *
 * <h2>Optional configuration arguments:</h2>
 * <!-- NOTE: ignore the \li. <i> and </i>: it's just doxygen formatting -->
 * \li -config1      <i> teststring   </i> <br>
 *      a configuration argument with one parameter
 * \li -config2                            <br>
 *      a configuration argument without parameters
 *
 * <h2>Default CDB entries:</h2>
 * The component has just one default CDB entry in 
 * <tt>HLT/ConfigSample/SampleComponent1</tt>.
 * It does not load any configuration from the global <tt>ConfigHLT</tt>
 * folder.
 * \li -TObjString object holding a string with the configuration parameters
 *      explained above
 *
 * <h2>Performance:</h2>
 * The component does not any event data processing.
 *
 * <h2>Memory consumption:</h2>
 * The component does not any event data processing.
 *
 * <h2>Output size:</h2>
 * The component has no output data.
 *
 * Furthermore it illustrates the component argument scanning and the
 * component configuration. There are actually two methods to init/
 * configure a component:
 * - via command line arguments. The arguments are specified in the HLT
 *   chain configuration and are passed to the component during
 *   initialization in @ref DoInit()
 * - from a CDB entry. The CDB can contain configuration objects for a
 *   component and the component can implement the handling
 *
 * The component implements the @ref alihltcomponent-low-level-interface.
 * for data processing.
 *
 * Using the latter case, a component can also be reconfigured. Special
 * events are propageted through the chain in order to trigger the re-
 * configuration. The component needs to implement the function
 * @ref Reconfigure(). The simplest version of a configuration object is
 * a string object (TObjString) containing configuration arguments.
