/**
* 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.
*
* 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.
