--------

The WebStack architecture consists of the following layers:

  * Framework - The underlying Web framework implementation.
  * Adapter   - Code operating under the particular framework which creates
                WebStack abstractions and issues them to the application.
  * Resources - Units of functionality operating within the hosted Web
                application.

Resources can act as both content producers within an application and as request
dispatchers to other resources; in the latter role, they may be referred to as
directors.

Classes
Authenticator A generic authentication component.
Resource A generic resource interface.
Transaction A generic transaction interface containing framework-specific methods to be overridden.

Exceptions
EndOfResponse An exception which signals the end of a response.
