The CollectionAdapter interface is the component that provides the business logic of an Atompub server. The Provider will use it's WorkspaceManager to determine which CollectionAdapter to dispatch a request to. Once an adapter is selected, the Provider will determine what kind of request is being made and will forward the request on to the appropriate CollectionAdapter method.
