 | | The request is handed off to the servlet engine, which creates or restores the session corresponding to the client program, performs security checks if appropriate, determines which servlet to invoke and calls the servlet, passing objects representing the request and response. |
 | | The responsibilities of an adapter are to instantiate a context manager; process the engine's configuration; and to drive the context manager's lifecycle. |
 | | It is using the context that the engine and interceptors can execute context-specific behavior during lifecycle and requext servicing (security constraints are a good example), and it is from the context that servlets get all their knowledge of the servlet environment. |
