39 * A charging type gives a name to an existing charging behavior. The idea is to be able to reuse
40 * the same charging behavior for charge types that may be advertised differently. For example, buying a book
41 * and issuing a direct credit discount have the exactly same charging behavior (just add/subtract a specific
42 * amount of credits to/from the wallet) but they are different business-wise.<p/>
44 * Using the original terminology of Aquarium, `vmtime` is a charging type. The exact implementation code that
45 * implements the semantics of `vmtime` is its charging behavior.
47 * @param name The name (alias) of the charging behaviour. Examples are
48 * `vmtime`, `diskspace`, `bandwidth`.
50 * @param behavior The implementation class for the charging behaviour.
