I cannot tell what part of the process you guys are discussing half
the time.  Pretty much everything on the server side is "processing
the request", if that includes "building the response".  By the
"standard plumbing" I mean the processes that normally happen prior to
the processing of a request reaching the Action class, or the stuff
that is taken care of by the framework.

Are you talking about what happens prior to reaching the Action class
or what happens before?  I assume you are talking about what happens
before, but perhaps I am mistaken?

I am trying to be helpful here, as I had great hopes that some sort of
chain option for the request processor would make building plugins and
making life simpler.  As things are, if this is about the plumbing,
things seem to be potentially more rather than less coupled.  Sorry if
this is not helpful, but you all obviously talk with each other often
enough to leave a bit out of the conversation which I cannot get the
uptake on.

Jack
