/**
* Checks if the specified request can possibly be handled by this calling
* convention as a function invocation.
*
*
Implementations of this method should be optimized for performance,
* as this method may be called for each incoming request. Also, this
* method should not have any side-effects except possibly some caching in
* case there is a match.
*
*
The default implementation of this method always returns
* true.
*
*
If this method throws any exception, the exception is logged as an
* ignorable exception and false is assumed.
*
*
This method should only be called by the XINS/Java Server Framework.
*
* @param httpRequest
* the HTTP request to investigate, never null.
*
* @return
* true if this calling convention is possibly
* able to handle this request, or false if it is
* definitely not able to handle this request.
*
* @throws Exception
* if analysis of the request causes an exception; in this case
* false will be assumed by the framework.
*
* @since XINS 1.4.0
