FilterChainResolver (Apache Shiro 1.7.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

PathMatchingFilterChainResolver
```
public interface FilterChainResolver
```
A FilterChainResolver can resolve an appropriate FilterChain to execute during a ServletRequest. It allows resolution of arbitrary filter chains which can be executed for any given request or URI/URL.
This mechanism allows for a much more flexible FilterChain resolution than normal web.xml servlet filter definitions: it allows arbitrary filter chains to be defined per URL in a much more concise and easy to read manner, and even allows filter chains to be dynamically resolved or constructed at runtime if the underlying implementation supports it.

- Method Detail
  - getChain
```
FilterChain getChain(ServletRequest request,
                     ServletResponse response,
                     FilterChain originalChain)
```
    Returns the filter chain that should be executed for the given request, or null if the original chain should be used.
    This method allows a implementation to define arbitrary security Filter chains for any given request or URL pattern.
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - the incoming ServletRequest
    
    response - the outgoing ServletResponse
    
    originalChain - the original FilterChain intercepted by the ShiroFilter implementation.
    
    Returns:
    
    the filter chain that should be executed for the given request, or null if the original chain should be used.
