/**
 * The Class AbstractErrUIComp.
 *
 * @author smathew
 * 
 * This is a tricky class. We have some empty implementation for UI Comp
 * interface. At the same time, We are re abstracting equals and hashcode so
 * that The UI components can be ordered and sorted and comapared.
 * 
 * Implementors are strongly recommended to subclass this class and override
 * equals meaningfully.
