public interface Service

extends Component, Serializable

Service is a component with an extra method action(Path, InputData, OutputData) that provides services based on the requests. As requests flow through the action they can be filtered, logged, enhanced via extending the InputData, provide custom routing etc.

All the filters and routers in the Aranea framework are services.
