     /**
29 |  |
      * <p>A <b>Valve</b> is a request processing component.  A series of
30 |  |
      * Valves are generally associated with each other into a Pipeline.
31 |  |
      * The detailed contract for a Valve is included in the description of
32 |  |
      * the <code>invoke()</code> method below.</p>
33 |  |
      *
34 |  |
      * <b>HISTORICAL NOTE</b>:  The "Valve" name was assigned to this concept
35 |  |
      * because a valve is what you use in a real world pipeline to control and/or
36 |  |
      * modify flows through it.

55 |  |
          * <li>Examine the properties of the specified Request, completely generate
56 |  |
          *     the corresponding Response, and return control to the caller.
57 |  |
          * <li>Examine the properties of the specified Request and Response, wrap
58 |  |
          *     either or both of these objects to supplement their functionality,
59 |  |
          *     and pass them on.
60 |  |
          * <li>If the corresponding Response was not generated (and control was not
61 |  |
          *     returned, call the next Valve in the pipeline (if there is one) by
62 |  |
          *     executing <code>context.invokeNext()</code>.
63 |  |

64 |  |

71 |  |

72 |  |
          * <li>Create a completed Response <strong>AND</strong> pass this
73 |  |
          *     Request and Response on to the next Valve in the pipeline.
74 |  |
          * <li>Consume bytes from the input stream associated with the Request,
75 |  |
          *     unless it is completely generating the response, or wrapping the
76 |  |
          *     request before passing it on.
77 |  |

78 |  |
          *     <code>invokeNext()</code> method has returned.
79 |  |
          * <li>Perform any actions on the output stream associated with the
