\class QxtAbstractWebService
\inmodule QxtWeb
\brief The QxtAbstractWebService class is a base interface for web services
QxtAbstractWebService provides a common interface for all web service classes.
It uses an event-driven design instead of the more traditional request-response
design used by many web scripting languages. When the user requests a web
page, the service receives a pageRequestedEvent; after the service assembles
the response, it must post a QxtWebPageEvent (or a subclass, such as
QxtWebRedirectEvent or QxtWebErrorEvent).
Usually, an application providing web services will instantiate one
QxtAbstractWebService object for each session, but this is not a requirement.
For services that do not require session management, such as those that serve
only static content, the session factory may return the same pointer for
every invocation, or it may use some more exotic scheme.
When using one service object per session, each service's data members are
independent and may be used to track state across requests. A service object
shared among multiple sessions will retain state across requests as well but
it must implement its own mechanism for separating non-shared data.
The QxtWeb architecture is not multithreaded; that is, QxtAbstractWebService
does not automatically spawn a process for every session. However,
QxtAbstractWebSessionManager performs thread-safe event dispatching, so
subclasses of QxtAbstractWebService are free to create threads themselves.
A web service object may delete itself (see QObject::deleteLater()) to end
the associated session.

* The current architecture only allows for two behaviors: creating a new session
* for every connection without a session cookie, or not using sessions at all.
* This needs to be fixed by adding a function to the session manager to explicitly
