Class derives the XML service description and further extends it by implementing consumer policy interface.

Service pattern is typically used by Basic Web Service consumers, which often know, which policy to use in the communication with certain Web Service Provider (WSP).

For example, a Basic Web Service consumer application might want strictly define certain Internet Access Point (IAP) to be used when initializing new service connection. Such an application can simply instantiate new ServicePattern and set pre-known IAP ID into it.

The main purpose of this class is to simplify the initialization of service connections for Basic Web Services.

It is important to note, that all the consumer policy information entered via ServicePattern extending the MSenConsumerPolicy is treated in "policy-per-client" terms. In other words, any consumer policy information will not be stored for latter use of other applications (even they might happen to use same WSP and contract!).

This is due the nature of Service Pattern: it acts as a consumer originated filter, after which a service will be resolved.

Any service which "meets" the Service Pattern "constraints", is considered as a "match", because such service accepts this (search) pattern.
