/**
 * <p>A {@link IoHandlerCommand} encapsulates a unit of processing work to be
 * performed, whose purpose is to examine and/or modify the state of a
 * transaction that is represented by custom attributes provided by
 * {@link IoSession}.  Individual {@link IoHandlerCommand}s can be assembled into
 * a {@link IoHandlerChain}, which allows them to either complete the
 * required processing or delegate further processing to the next
 * {@link IoHandlerCommand} in the {@link IoHandlerChain}.</p>
 *
 * <p>{@link IoHandlerCommand} implementations typically retrieve and store state
 * information in the {@link IoSession} that is passed as a parameter to
 * the {@link #execute(NextCommand,IoSession,Object)} method, using custom
 * session attributes.  If you think getting attributes is tedious process,
 * you can create a bean which contains getters and setters of all properties
 * and store the bean as a session attribute:</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * public class MyContext {
 *   public String getPropertyX() { ... };
 *   public void setPropertyX(String propertyX) { ... };
 *   public int getPropertyZ() { ... };
 *   public void setPropertyZ(int propertyZ) { ... };
 * }
 *
 * public class MyHandlderCommand implements IoHandlerCommand {
 *   public void execute( NextCommand next, IoSession session, Object message ) throws Exception {
 *     MyContext ctx = session.getAttribute( "mycontext" );
 *     ...
 *   }
 * }
 * </pre>
