## com.bea.p13n.http
Class HttpConfigurableEntity

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--com.bea.p13n.http.HttpConfigurableEntity

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ConfigurableEntity

Direct Known Subclasses:
  Request, Session

public abstract class HttpConfigurableEntity
extends Object
implements ConfigurableEntity

A default implementation for Http Request and Http Session objects mimick a ConfigurableEntity. This does not extend the new AbstractConfigurableEntity becuase it is not really storing values based on property sets, just implementing this interface to provide easy access to request and session attributes.
