When the user clicks the link, the client browser requests the URL of the edit link which will be to the EditRequestDispactchControllEditRequestDispatchControl.  That servlet will set up all that is needed in the session for the edit and respond with the HTML form.  A custom form is setup by the EditConfigurationGenerator which has the sole purpose of making an EditConfiguration object. The EditRequestDispatchController will run getEditConfiguration() on the EditConfigurationGenerator to create the EditConfiguration. The EditConfiguration object has properties to define the characteristics of the edit. The EditConfiguration will specify the FreeMarker template for the form, and the server side instructions for validating the submitted result and instructions for processing the edit.
