 * 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.
