This package contains all classes used by the balancer webapp other than actual rule implementations.

The {@link org.apache.webapp.balancer.BalancerFilter Filter} is how the webapp is typically used: see the web.xml file in this distribution for an example.

A {@link org.apache.webapp.balancer.RuleChain} is simply a list of rules to be evaluated in order.

The {@link org.apache.webapp.balancer.RulesParser} uses Digester to parse the rules configuration file.
