          The default attribute can only be true for one of the configured blob stores.
          If no blob store is configured as the default one, then one will be created automatically
          following the legacy location discovery method of looking for the GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR environment
          variable, servlet context parameter, or JVM argument.
          Additionally, any layer that has no blobStoreId set will default to use the default blob store,
          whether it is defined in the configuration file, or created automatically using the legacy method.
          So, it is allowed that none of the configured blob stores has its 'default' attribute set to true,
          but it's a configuration error that more than one is set as the default one. In such case, an exception
          will be thrown at application startup.
