/**
 * A <b>Container</b> is an object that can execute requests received from a client, and return responses based on those
 * requests. A Container may optionally support a pipeline of Valves that process the request in an order configured at
 * runtime, by implementing the <b>Pipeline</b> interface as well.
 * <p>
 * Containers will exist at several conceptual levels within Catalina. The following examples represent common cases:
 * <ul>
 * <li><b>Engine</b> - Representation of the entire Catalina servlet engine, most likely containing one or more
 * subcontainers that are either Host or Context implementations, or other custom groups.
 * <li><b>Host</b> - Representation of a virtual host containing a number of Contexts.
 * <li><b>Context</b> - Representation of a single ServletContext, which will typically contain one or more Wrappers for
 * the supported servlets.
 * <li><b>Wrapper</b> - Representation of an individual servlet definition.
 * </ul>
 * A given deployment of Catalina need not include Containers at all of the levels described above. For example, an
 * administration application embedded within a network device (such as a router) might only contain a single Context
 * and a few Wrappers, or even a single Wrapper if the application is relatively small. Therefore, Container
 * implementations need to be designed so that they will operate correctly in the absence of parent Containers in a
 * given deployment.
 * <p>
 * A Container may also be associated with a number of support components that provide functionality which might be
 * shared (by attaching it to a parent Container) or individually customized. The following support components are
 * currently recognized:
 * <ul>
 * <li><b>Loader</b> - Class loader to use for integrating new Java classes for this Container into the JVM in which
 * Catalina is running.
 * <li><b>Logger</b> - Implementation of the <code>log()</code> method signatures of the <code>ServletContext</code>
 * interface.
 * <li><b>Manager</b> - Manager for the pool of Sessions associated with this Container.
 * <li><b>Realm</b> - Read-only interface to a security domain, for authenticating user identities and their
 * corresponding roles.
 * <li><b>Resources</b> - JNDI directory context enabling access to static resources, enabling custom linkages to
 * existing server components when Catalina is embedded in a larger server.
 * </ul>
