/**
 * <p><strong>RequestProcessor</strong> contains the processing logic that
 * the Struts controller servlet performs as it receives each servlet request
 * from the container.</p>
 * <p>This processor subclasses the Struts RequestProcessor in order to intercept calls to forward
 * or include. When such calls are done, the Tiles processor checks if the specified URI
 * is a definition name. If true, the definition is retrieved and included. If
 * false, the original URI is included or a forward is performed.
 * <p>
 * Actually, catching is done by overloading the following methods:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #processForwardConfig(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse,ForwardConfig)}</li>
 * <li>{@link #internalModuleRelativeForward(String, HttpServletRequest , HttpServletResponse)}</li>
 * <li>{@link #internalModuleRelativeInclude(String, HttpServletRequest , HttpServletResponse)}</li>
 * </ul>
