/**
* A Container is an object that can execute requests received from
* a client, and return responses based on those requests. A Container may
* optionally support a pipeline of Valves that process the request in an
* order configured at runtime, by implementing the Pipeline interface
* as well.
*
* Containers will exist at several conceptual levels within Catalina. The
* following examples represent common cases:
*
* - Engine - Representation of the entire Catalina servlet engine,
* most likely containing one or more subcontainers that are either Host
* or Context implementations, or other custom groups.
*
- Host - Representation of a virtual host containing a number
* of Contexts.
*
- Context - Representation of a single ServletContext, which will
* typically contain one or more Wrappers for the supported servlets.
*
- Wrapper - Representation of an individual servlet definition
* (which may support multiple servlet instances if the servlet itself
* implements SingleThreadModel).
*
* A given deployment of Catalina need not include Containers at all of the
* levels described above. For example, an administration application
* embedded within a network device (such as a router) might only contain
* a single Context and a few Wrappers, or even a single Wrapper if the
* application is relatively small. Therefore, Container implementations
* need to be designed so that they will operate correctly in the absence
* of parent Containers in a given deployment.
*
* A Container may also be associated with a number of support components
* that provide functionality which might be shared (by attaching it to a
* parent Container) or individually customized. The following support
* components are currently recognized:
*
* - Loader - Class loader to use for integrating new Java classes
* for this Container into the JVM in which Catalina is running.
*
- Logger - Implementation of the
log() method
* signatures of the ServletContext interface.
* - Manager - Manager for the pool of Sessions associated with
* this Container.
*
- Realm - Read-only interface to a security domain, for
* authenticating user identities and their corresponding roles.
*
- Resources - JNDI directory context enabling access to static
* resources, enabling custom linkages to existing server components when
* Catalina is embedded in a larger server.
