Interface FilterPipeline

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractFilterPipeline

public interface FilterPipeline

A dispatcher abstraction for guice-servlet registered servlets and filters. By default, we assume a Guice 1.0 style servlet module is in play. In other words, we dispatch directly to the web.xml pipeline after setting up scopes.

If on the other hand, ServletModule is used to register managed servlets and/or filters, then a different pipeline is bound instead. Which, after dispatching to Guice-injected filters and servlets continues to the web.xml pipeline (if necessary).
