+ * of this event, and the beginning of the processing of the end or error events,
+ * it is possible to use the response object to write data on the open connection.
+ * Note that the response object and depedent OutputStream and Writer are still
+ * not synchronized, so when they are accessed by multiple threads,
+ * synchronization is mandatory.
+ * READ - This indicates that input data is available, and that one read can be made
+ * without blocking. The available and ready methods of the InputStream or
+ * Reader may be used to determine if there is a risk of blocking: the servlet
+ * should read while data is reported available, and can make one additional read
+ * without blocking. When encountering a read error or an EOF, the servlet MUST
+ * report it by either returning false or throwing an exception such as an
+ * IOException. This will cause the error event to be invoked, and the connection
+ * will be closed. It is not allowed to attempt reading data from the request object
+ * outside of the execution of this method.
+ * END - End may be called to end the processing of the request. Fields that have
+ * been initialized in the begin method should be reset. After this event has
+ * been processed, the request and response objects, as well as all their dependent
+ * objects will be recycled and used to process other requests.
+ * ERROR - Error will be called by the container in the case where an IO exception
+ * or a similar unrecoverable error occurs on the connection. Fields that have
+ * been initialized in the begin method should be reset. After this event has
+ * been processed, the request and response objects, as well as all their dependent
+ * objects will be recycled and used to process other requests.
