--------
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.
