/**
 * This class holds the definition of a task in Apex. A task is executed by a state and performs
 * some domain specific logic to carry out work required to be done by a policy. The Task Logic that
 * is executed by a task is held in a {@link AxTaskLogic} instance.
 *
 * <p>A task has a set of input fields and output fields, which are passed to and are emitted from the
 * task during a task execution cycle. A task may have task parameters {@link AxTaskParameter},
 * which are configuration values passed to a task at initialization time.
 *
 * <p>The Task Logic in a task may use information in context albums to perform their domain specific
 * work. The context albums that the task uses and that should be made available to the task by Apex
 * policy distribution are held as a set of references to context albums in the task.
 *
 * <p>During validation of a task, the validation checks listed below are executed:
 * <ol>
 * <li>The task key must not be a null key and must be valid, see validation in
 * {@link AxArtifactKey}
 * <li>The task must have at least one input field
 * <li>The parent of each input field of a task must be that task
 * <li>Each input field must be valid, see validation in {@link AxInputField}
 * <li>The task must have at least one output field
 * <li>The parent of each output field of a task must be that task
 * <li>Each output field must be valid, see validation in {@link AxOutputField}
 * <li>The parent of each task parameter of a task must be that task
 * <li>Each task parameter must be valid, see validation in {@link AxTaskParameter}
 * <li>The parent of the task logic in a task must be that task
 * <li>The task logic must be valid, see validation in {@link AxTaskLogic}
