/**
 * CController manages a set of actions which deal with the corresponding user requests.
 *
 * Through the actions, CController coordinates the data flow between models and views.
 *
 * When a user requests an action 'XYZ', CController will do one of the following:
 * 1. Method-based action: call method 'actionXYZ' if it exists;
 * 2. Class-based action: create an instance of class 'XYZ' if the class is found in the action class map
 *    (specified via {@link actions()}, and execute the action;
 * 3. Call {@link missingAction()}, which by default will raise a 404 HTTP exception.
 *
 * If the user does not specify an action, CController will run the action specified by
 * {@link defaultAction}, instead.
 *
 * CController may be configured to execute filters before and after running actions.
 * Filters preprocess/postprocess the user request/response and may quit executing actions
 * if needed. They are executed in the order they are specified. If during the execution,
 * any of the filters returns true, the rest filters and the action will no longer get executed.
 *
 * Filters can be individual objects, or methods defined in the controller class.
 * They are specified by overriding {@link filters()} method. The following is an example
 * of the filter specification:
 * <pre>
 * array(
 *     'accessControl - login',
 *     'ajaxOnly + search',
 *     array(
 *         'COutputCache + list',
 *         'duration'=>300,
 *     ),
 * )
 * </pre>
 * The above example declares three filters: accessControl, ajaxOnly, COutputCache. The first two
 * are method-based filters (defined in CController), which refer to filtering methods in the controller class;
 * while the last refers to an object-based filter whose class is 'system.web.widgets.COutputCache' and
 * the 'duration' property is initialized as 300 (s).
 *
 * For method-based filters, a method named 'filterXYZ($filterChain)' in the controller class
 * will be executed, where 'XYZ' stands for the filter name as specified in {@link filters()}.
 * Note, inside the filter method, you must call <code>$filterChain->run()</code> if the action should
 * be executed. Otherwise, the filtering process would stop at this filter.
 *
 * Filters can be specified so that they are executed only when running certain actions.
 * For method-based filters, this is done by using '+' and '-' operators in the filter specification.
 * The '+' operator means the filter runs only when the specified actions are requested;
 * while the '-' operator means the filter runs only when the requested action is not among those actions.
 * For object-based filters, the '+' and '-' operators are following the class name.
 *
 * @property array $actionParams The request parameters to be used for action parameter binding.
 * @property CAction $action The action currently being executed, null if no active action.
 * @property string $id ID of the controller.
 * @property string $uniqueId The controller ID that is prefixed with the module ID (if any).
 * @property string $route The route (module ID, controller ID and action ID) of the current request.
 * @property CWebModule $module The module that this controller belongs to. It returns null
 * if the controller does not belong to any module.
 * @property string $viewPath The directory containing the view files for this controller. Defaults to 'protected/views/ControllerID'.
 * @property CMap $clips The list of clips.
 * @property string $pageTitle The page title. Defaults to the controller name and the action name.
 * @property CStack $cachingStack Stack of {@link COutputCache} objects.
