Class ResourceContainer

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.simpleframework.http.resource.ResourceContainer
All Implemented Interfaces:
Container

public class ResourceContainer
extends java.lang.Object
implements Container

The ResourceContainer is an implementation of the Container interface for handling an arbitrary set of resources. This container will accept any HTTP transaction and delegate the processing of that transation to a resource. This resolves the resource to use using an implementation of the ResourceEngine interface.

This provides a very simple means to manage individual targets using separate resource implementations. It also provides an ideal location to introduce path mapping functionality.
