| /** |
| * This package defines the concept of "request" as the event causing a |
| * document to be generated from a template. The process is also called |
| * "rendering the template". Typical examples are servlet requests or |
| * portlet requests. |
| * |
| * This API is independent of the underlying technology, allowing the user |
| * to deal with similarities in servlets and portlets, or various template |
| * technologies, in a uniform way. |
| * |
| * It is based on 3 main interfaces: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>{@link org.apache.tiles.request.Request} is the main abstraction, |
| * encapsulating the parameters of the template (as attributes and scopes) |
| * and the target document (as java.io.OutputStream). |
| * {@link org.apache.tiles.request.DispatchRequest} holds some features common |
| * to servlets and portlets that are unlikely to be found outside of a JavaEE |
| * web environment. |
| * <li>{@link org.apache.tiles.ApplicationContext} can be used to access |
| * application-wide configuration and resources (typically the files containing |
| * the templates). |
| * <li>{@link org.apache.tiles.request.render.Renderer} is the interface supported |
| * by the engine in charge of rendering the template. |
| * <ul> |
