| 28 | /** | |
| 29 | * <p>A <b>ValveContext</b> is the mechanism by which a Valve can trigger the | |
| 30 | * execution of the next Valve in a Pipeline, without having to know anything | |
| 31 | * about the internal implementation mechanisms. An instance of a class | |
| 32 | * implementing this interface is passed as a parameter to the | |
| 33 | * <code>Valve.invoke()</code> method of each executed Valve.</p> | |
| 34 | * | |
| 35 | * <p><strong>IMPLEMENTATION NOTE</strong>: It is up to the implementation of | |
| 36 | * ValveContext to ensure that simultaneous requests being processed (by | |
| 37 | * separate threads) through the same Pipeline do not interfere with each | |
| 38 | * other's flow of control.</p> | |
