/**
 * Frequently many handlers are combined together to handle different aspects of
 * a request. A handler may:
 * <ul>
 * <li>handle the request and completely generate the response
 * <li>partially handle the request, but defer response generation to another
 * handler.
 * <li>select another handler to pass the request to.
 * <li>use business logic to decide to do one of the above.
 * </ul>
 * 
 * Multiple handlers may be combined with:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link HandlerWrapper} which will nest one handler inside another. In
 * this example, the HelloHandler is nested inside a HandlerWrapper that sets
 * the greeting as a request attribute.
 * <li>{@link HandlerList} which will call a collection of handlers until the
 * request is marked as handled. In this example, a list is used to combine the
 * param handler (which only handles the request if there are parameters) and
 * the wrapper handler. Frequently handler lists are terminated with the
 * {@link DefaultHandler}, which will generate a suitable 404 response if the
 * request has not been handled.
 * <li>{@link HandlerCollection} which will call each handler regardless if the
 * request has been handled or not. Typically this is used to always pass a
 * request to the logging handler.
 * </ul>
