public class ChainProcessor
extends ChainServlet

Custom subclass of ChainServlet that also dispatches incoming requests to a configurable Command loaded from the specified Catalog.

In addition to the servlet init parameters supported by ChainServlet, this class supports the following additional parameters:

• org.apache.commons.chain.CATALOG - Name of the catalog from which to acquire commands to be executed. If not specified, the default catalog for this application will be used.
• org.apache.commons.chain.COMMAND - Name of the Command (looked up in our configured Catalog used to process all incoming servlet requests. If not specified, defaults to command.

Also, the org.apache.commons.chain.CONFIG_ATTR init parameter is also used to identify the Context attribute under which our configured Catalog will be made available to Commands processing our requests, in addition to its definition of the ServletContext attribute key under which the Catalog is available.
