/**
 * Application controller class for organization of business logic.
 * Provides basic functionality, such as rendering views inside layouts,
 * automatic model availability, redirection, callbacks, and more.
 *
 * Controllers should provide a number of 'action' methods.  These are public methods on the controller
 * that are not prefixed with a '_' and not part of Controller.  Each action serves as an endpoint for
 * performing a specific action on a resource or collection of resources.  For example adding or editing a new
 * object, or listing a set of objects.
 *
 * You can access request parameters, using `$this->request`.  The request object contains all the POST, GET and FILES
 * that were part of the request.
 *
 * After performing the required actions, controllers are responsible for creating a response.  This usually
 * takes the form of a generated View, or possibly a redirection to another controller action.  In either case
 * `$this->response` allows you to manipulate all aspects of the response.
 *
 * Controllers are created by Dispatcher based on request parameters and routing. By default controllers and actions
 * use conventional names.  For example `/posts/index` maps to `PostsController::index()`.  You can re-map urls
 * using Router::connect().
