public interface Valve

A Valve is a request processing component associated with a particular Container. A series of Valves are generally associated with each other into a Pipeline. The detailed contract for a Valve is included in the description of the invoke() method below.

HISTORICAL NOTE: The "Valve" name was assigned to this concept because a valve is what you use in a real world pipeline to control and/or modify flows through it.
