/**
 * Servlet responsible for executing commands upon node(s).
 * <p>
 * The URL to the servlet should be generated thus:
 * <pre>/alfresco/command/processor-name/command-name/args/...</pre>
 * <p>
 * The 'processor-name' identifies the command processor to execute the command. For example the
 * 'workflow' processor will execute workflow commands upon a node (e.g. "approve" or "reject").
 * For example:
 * <pre>/alfresco/command/workflow/approve/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000
 * The store protocol, followed by the store ID, followed by the content Node Id used to
 * identify the node to execute the workflow action upon.
 * <p>
 * A 'return-page' URL argument can be specified as the redirect page to navigate too after processing.
 * <p>
 * Like most Alfresco servlets, the URL may be followed by a valid 'ticket' argument for authentication:
 * ?ticket=1234567890
 * <p>
 * And/or also followed by the "?guest=true" argument to force guest access login for the URL.
