Implement request handling as a Chain of Responsability
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-314
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-314
Project: GeoServer
Type: Sub-task
Components: WMS, WFS
Versions: 1.3-rc1
Reporter: Gabriel Roldán
Assigned to: Gabriel Roldán
The current request handling framework is just messy. Each service operation ends being a servlet itself inside a silly class hierarchy and a difficult to follow workflow. This junk shuold be refactored to a single dispatcher that dynamically finds service instances that can deal with the service and version requested, and pass the ball to it. I know it is a more CGI like approach than the one we use right now, but I think it will calrify a lot how a request is managed and will be easier to implement service plugins.
This is only my thinking by now so I'm completely open to dicussion before going forward.
