/**
 * The Service API provides modularity to the otherwise
 * large and growing functions exposed by {@link hudson.model.Hudson}
 * and the associated {@code hudson.model.*} hierarchy.
 *
 * <p>Security authorization is performed when appropriate to help API
 * users avoid needing to do this themselves. If additional security
 * checks are required outside of this, please use {@link SecurityService}.
 *
 * <p>Generally, unchecked exceptions are the norm in the service API, with all
 * thrown exceptions extending from {@link ServiceRuntimeException}.
 * Exception chaining is used so as to not lose the root cause of an exception.
 * The API is designed so that exceptions caused by external state
 * changes in the system can usually be avoided by using system state
 * accessing methods.
 *
 * <p> Generally the service API adopts the convention of methods beginning {@literal find*} will return
 * {@literal null} if the entity cannot be found. Single entity accessors beginning with {@literal get*}
 * will throw {@link NotFoundException}.
