Ok, I almost got it. But still I don´t understand, how does Merlin know that 
it should search for DefaultSocketManager in the cornerstone-sockets-impl 
package in order to get SocketManager service? Is it written inside of Merlin
´s configuration?

Anyway, thank you very much for detailed answers!
