Entry Points

The different channels each need their own entry point, since the application stack will be different in some regard.

• Entry point for browsers index.php
• Entry point for web services api.php
• Entry point for command line access joomla.php

Router Middleware

Each entrypoint needs its own router, which maps incoming data to commands.

• Web Router, see Front Controller: Router #59
• Legacy Router
• API Router
• CLI Router

Dynamic Middleware

This section does not belong to the CDH milestone.

Some middleware will be added at runtime. Thus, a "dynamic middleware" is needed, which identifies the middleware, and adds them to the application stack in the right order.

• DynamicMiddleware
• Administration for dynamic middleware (enable, disable, ordering)
