Return the referenced object, potentially performing a remote DataStore lookup and deserialisation. If the object is already
present or has been previously acquired, it is immediately returned.

@param source the implementation that provides object instances given the provided references
@return the object that this container is wrapping
@throws DataSourceException if the object cannot be acquired
@throws IllegalStateException if there is no object or reference present
Return the referenced object potentially performing a remote DataStore lookup and deserialisation . If the object is already present or has been previously acquired it is immediately returned .
