HVRootView

Part of the HttpView web framework.

A HVRootView object is a view object that is plugged into Komanche.
The HVRootView object holds the model and
it also is the first entry point of a web application.
The method #process: is called with a HttpRequest as an argument and
Komanche expects a HttpResponse being returned.

The root view typically

instantiates a transient view object on the model,
puts the request into the view and
then sends #dispatch to it.

Eventually it will return a result object that is transformed into an HttpResponse.

Simple applications typically don't subclass HVRootView, instead an instance is created when the application is started, see for example HVHttpView class>>startOn:.

The HVRootView object is not instantiated for every request - it represents the web application itself that is plugged into Komanche - so it must be written Process safe.
