     * Enumeration describing the major events that the container can invoke 
     * the CometProcessors event() method with
     * BEGIN - will be called at the beginning 
     *  of the processing of the connection. It can be used to initialize any relevant 
     *  fields using the request and response objects. Between the end of the processing 
     *  of this event, and the beginning of the processing of the end or error events,
     *  it is possible to use the response object to write data on the open connection.
     *  Note that the response object and dependent OutputStream and Writer are still 
     *  not synchronized, so when they are accessed by multiple threads, 
     *  synchronization is mandatory. After processing the initial event, the request 
     *  is considered to be committed.
     * READ - This indicates that input data is available, and that one read can be made
     *  without blocking. The available and ready methods of the InputStream or
     *  Reader may be used to determine if there is a risk of blocking: the servlet
     *  should read while data is reported available, and can make one additional read
     *  without blocking. When encountering a read error or an EOF, the servlet MUST
     *  report it by either returning false or throwing an exception such as an 
     *  IOException. This will cause the error event to be invoked, and the connection
     *  will be closed. It is not allowed to attempt reading data from the request object
     *  outside of the execution of this method.
     * END - End may be called to end the processing of the request. Fields that have
     *  been initialized in the begin method should be reset. After this event has
     *  been processed, the request and response objects, as well as all their dependent
     *  objects will be recycled and used to process other requests.
     * ERROR - Error will be called by the container in the case where an IO exception
     *  or a similar unrecoverable error occurs on the connection. Fields that have
     *  been initialized in the begin method should be reset. After this event has
     *  been processed, the request and response objects, as well as all their dependent
     *  objects will be recycled and used to process other requests.
