participants
The classes and/or objects participating in this pattern are:
- Handler (Approver)
- defines an interface for handling the requests
- (optional) implements the successor link
- ConcreteHandler (Director, VicePresident, President)
- handles requests it is responsible for
- can access its successor
- if the ConcreteHandler can handle the request, it does so; otherwise it forwards the request to its successor
- Client (ChainApp)
- initiates the request to a ConcreteHandler object on the chain
