/**
 * Filters invocations on {@link DefaultPartitionNexus}.  {@link Interceptor}
 * filters most method calls performed on {@link DefaultPartitionNexus} just
 * like Servlet filters do.
 * <p/>
 * <h2>Interceptor Chaining</h2>
 * 
 * Interceptors should usually pass the control
 * of current invocation to the next interceptor by calling an appropriate method
 * on {@link NextInterceptor}.  The flow control is returned when the next
 * interceptor's filter method returns. You can therefore implement pre-, post-,
 * around- invocation handler by how you place the statement.  Otherwise, you
 * can transform the invocation into other(s).
 * <p/>
 * <h3>Pre-invocation Filtering</h3>
 * <pre>
 * public void delete( NextInterceptor nextInterceptor, Name name )
 * {
 *     System.out.println( "Starting invocation." );
 *     nextInterceptor.delete( name );
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p/>
 * <h3>Post-invocation Filtering</h3>
 * <pre>
 * public void delete( NextInterceptor nextInterceptor, Name name )
 * {
 *     nextInterceptor.delete( name );
 *     System.out.println( "Invocation ended." );

 * <h3>Around-invocation Filtering</h3>
 * <pre>
