Anatomy of process-web-request in HTML-mapping

The heart of an HTML-mapping Web object is process-web-request. Figure 8–3: shows how the default HTML-mapping version of process-web-request participates in a Web request.

This default model can apply whether the Web object is accessed by its URL from the browser or is called directly from another Web object. (The STEP numbers are taken from the default comments in the procedure.)

Each of the shaded boxes represents a method procedure, database action, or one of several event procedures that provides a basic request service:

NOTE: Step 4.1 is missing from Figure 8–3. In the actual code (install-path/src/web2/template/html-map.w), this step describes how to simulate a Web request by calling another Web object. This is not a common action.
