The HTTP partitioning facility API can be used by EJBs and servlets
to perform the following actions:
- Specify request expression and valid partition names to partitioning
facility and HTTP partitioning.
- Receive notification regarding load and unload events of partitions.
- Receive queries to determine if a partition is still alive.
The APIs leverage the HttpPartitionManager that can be
used to register callbacks for partition events as well as make partition-related
requests, such as allocating a request expression.
