* Interface describing a collection of Valves that should be executed in sequence when the invoke() method
* is invoked. It is required that a Valve somewhere in the pipeline (usually the last one) must process the request and
* create the corresponding response, rather than trying to pass the request on.
*
*
* There is generally a single Pipeline instance associated with each Container. The container's normal request
* processing functionality is generally encapsulated in a container-specific Valve, which should always be executed at
* the end of a pipeline. To facilitate this, the setBasic() method is provided to set the Valve instance
* that will always be executed last. Other Valves will be executed in the order that they were added, before the basic
* Valve is executed.
