com.manydesigns.portofino.dispatcher.Dispatch

public class Dispatch
extends Object

A Dispatch is an object representing a path of page instances from the root of the application, where each page except the first is an instance of a child (subdirectory) of the previous one. Additionally, a dispatch retains information about the path that was requested to the Web server and that generated the dispatch itself.
