Definition of Facet Types
A Facet Type is a unit of capability (or method) represented by a piece of executable code (a Java class) intended to process a request. The facet type’s method selection is based on the facet lifecycle event model. In short, the TQLEngine invokes the appropriate facet type method using the current facet pipeline connection context and facet instance information as argument.
