/**
 * URL rewriting and request dispatching based on URL and query string,
 * configured in the resin-web.xml.  Basically, a replacement for
 * mod_rewrite capabilities in Resin.
 *
 * DispatchRules generally have a regular expression and a target
 * (defined in {@link com.caucho.rewrite.AbstractTargetDispatchRule}).  They have optional
 * {@link com.caucho.rewrite.RequestPredicate} conditions to check
 request headers, so
 * dispatching can be browser-specific.
 *
 * 
Custom DispatchRules can be made by extending
 * {@link com.caucho.rewrite.AbstractTargetDispatchRule} and implementing
 * the createDispatch method.
