All Implemented Interfaces:
  Container, Lifecycle, Pipeline

Direct Known Subclasses:
  StandardContext, StandardEngine, StandardHost, StandardWrapper

public abstract class ContainerBase
extends java.lang.Object
implements Container, Lifecycle, Pipeline

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, utilizig 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.
