29   * A filter which intercepts {@link IoHandler} events like Servlet
30   * filters.  Filters can be used for these purposes:
31   * <ul>
32   *   <li>Event logging,</li>
33   *   <li>Performance measurement,</li>
34   *   <li>Authorization,</li>
35   *   <li>Overload control,</li>
36   *   <li>Message transformation (e.g. encryption and decryption, ...),</li>
37   *   <li>and many more.</li>
38   * </ul>
39   * <p>
40   * <strong>Please NEVER implement your filters to wrap
41   * {@link IoSession}s.</strong> Users can cache the reference to the
42   * session, which might malfunction if any filters are added or removed later.
43   *
44   * <h3>The Life Cycle</h3>
45   * {@link IoFilter}s are activated only when they are inside {@link IoFilterChain}.
46   * <p>
47   * When you add an {@link IoFilter} to an {@link IoFilterChain}:
48   * <ol>
49   *   <li>{@link #init()} is invoked by {@link ReferenceCountingFilter} if
50   *       the filter is added at the first time.</li>
51   *   <li>{@link #onPreAdd(IoFilterChain, String, NextFilter)} is invoked to notify
52   *       that the filter will be added to the chain.</li>
53   *   <li>The filter is added to the chain, and all events and I/O requests
54   *       pass through the filter from now.</li>
55   *   <li>{@link #onPostAdd(IoFilterChain, String, NextFilter)} is invoked to notify
56   *       that the filter is added to the chain.</li>
57   *   <li>The filter is removed from the chain if {@link #onPostAdd(IoFilterChain, String, org.apache.mina.core.filterchain.IoFilter.NextFilter)}
58   *       threw an exception.  {@link #destroy()} is also invoked by
59   *       {@link ReferenceCountingFilter} if the filter is the last filter which
60   *       was added to {@link IoFilterChain}s.</li>
61   * </ol>
62   * <p>
63   * When you remove an {@link IoFilter} from an {@link IoFilterChain}:
64   * <ol>
65   *   <li>{@link #onPreRemove(IoFilterChain, String, NextFilter)} is invoked to
66   *       notify that the filter will be removed from the chain.</li>
67   *   <li>The filter is removed from the chain, and any events and I/O requests
68   *       don't pass through the filter from now.</li>
69   *   <li>{@link #onPostRemove(IoFilterChain, String, NextFilter)} is invoked to
70   *       notify that the filter is removed from the chain.</li>
71   *   <li>{@link #destroy()} is invoked by {@link ReferenceCountingFilter} if
72   *       the removed filter was the last one.</li>
