This method does the heavy work of the
<a href="class.yaf-dispatcher.html" class="classname">Yaf_Dispatcher</a>. It take a request object.
</p>
<p class="para">
The dispatch process has three distinct events:
<ul class="simplelist">
<li class="member">Routing</li>
<li class="member">Dispatching</li>
<li class="member">Response</li>
</ul>
Routing takes place exactly once, using the values in the request object
when dispatch() is called. Dispatching takes place in a loop; a request may
either indicate multiple actions to dispatch, or the controller or a plugin
may reset the request object to force additional actions to dispatch(see
<a href="class.yaf-plugin-abstract.html" class="classname">Yaf_Plugin_Abstract</a>. When all is done, the
<a href="class.yaf-dispatcher.html" class="classname">Yaf_Dispatcher</a> returns a response.
