A "CatalogAware" instance must locate the catolog it should update.

It assume that the catalog has a fixed id. The default is "Catalog"
but can be changed when "CatalogAware" is subclassed.

The catalog is obtained via the id through acquisition.
This usually implies, it must be a direct child of an ancestor
of the "CatalogAware" object.
