```
    Returns a handler for a generic print element type and an exporter key.
    The method first locates a handler bundle that matches the type namespace, and then uses GenericElementHandlerBundle.getHandler(String, String) to resolve an export handler.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the generic element type
    
    exporterKey - the exporter key
    
    Returns:
    
    a generic print element handler
    
    Throws:
    
    JRRuntimeException - if a handler does not exist for the combination of element type and exporter key
