/**
 * TApplicationComponent class
 *
 * TApplicationComponent is the base class for all components that are
 * application-related, such as controls, modules, services, etc.
 *
 * TApplicationComponent mainly defines a few properties that are shortcuts
 * to some commonly used methods. The {@link getApplication Application}
 * property gives the application instance that this component belongs to;
 * {@link getService Service} gives the current running service;
 * {@link getRequest Request}, {@link getResponse Response} and {@link getSession Session}
 * return the request and response modules, respectively;
 * And {@link getUser User} gives the current user instance.
 *
 * Besides, TApplicationComponent defines two shortcut methods for
 * publishing private files: {@link publishAsset} and {@link publishFilePath}.
