<DD>Initialize this ISharedObject. The ISharedObjectContainer for this
ISharedObject must call this method with a non-null instance of
ISharedObjectConfig. ISharedObject implementations can use this
initialization to perform any initialization necessary prior to receiving
any events (via handleEvent/s). Note that the ISharedObjectContext
provided via the ISharedObjectConfig.getSharedObjectContext() method is
not guaranteed to allow any method calls until after this init() method
call has completed.
