-COMPONENT OVERVIEW-
Configuration registry
* At initialiation, each request adapter (servlet, filter, et cetera), adds its
configuration to a single registry at a global location under a unique key.
Command Context
* Extends CoR Context to encapsulate framework members needed to process request and
render response
Request Adapter (module, portlet, mock)
* Receives request from container (or TestRunner)
* Normalizes request path (masks pattern registered with container)
* Creates context to wrap request and response objects
* Adds reference to its configuration (stored in global registry)
* Invokes Controller
* When control returns, dispatches to Location (if any)
Controller
* Receives context and selects the matching mapping
* Adds reference to mapping instance to context
* Removes any expired messages from context
* Invokes processor for mapping
Processor

series includes
* Multipart
* Locale
* ContentType
* NoCache
* PreProcess
* Roles
* FormHandler
* Cancel
* Reset
* Populate
* Validate
* Invalid
* MappingHandler
* Command | Script | Forward | Include
