public abstract class ContainerBase
extends LifecycleMBeanBase
implements Container

Abstract implementation of the Container interface, providing common functionality required by nearly every implementation. Classes extending this base class must implement getInfo(), and may implement a replacement for invoke().

All subclasses of this abstract base class will include support for a Pipeline object that defines the processing to be performed for each request received by the invoke() method of this class, utilizing the "Chain of Responsibility" design pattern. A subclass should encapsulate its own processing functionality as a Valve, and configure this Valve into the pipeline by calling setBasic().

This implementation fires property change events, per the JavaBeans design pattern, for changes in singleton properties. In addition, it fires the following ContainerEvent events to listeners who register themselves with addContainerListener():

Type	Data	Description
addChild	Container	Child container added to this Container.
addValve	Valve	Valve added to this Container.
removeChild	Container	Child container removed from this Container.
removeValve	Valve	Valve removed from this Container.
start	null	Container was started.
stop	null	Container was stopped.

Subclasses that fire additional events should document them in the class comments of the implementation class. TODO: Review synchronisation around background processing. See bug 47024.
