/**
 * A Jetty Server Handler.
 * 
 * A Handler instance is required by a {@link Server} to handle incoming
 * HTTP requests.
 * 

 * A Handler may:
 * 

 * Completely generate the HTTP Response
 * Examine/modify the request and call another Handler (see {@link HandlerWrapper}).
 * 
Pass the request to one or more other Handlers (see {@link HandlerCollection}).
 * 
 *
 * Handlers are passed the servlet API request and response object, but are
 * not Servlets.  The servlet container is implemented by handlers for
 * context, security, session and servlet that modify the request object
 * before passing it to the next stage of handling.
