The first object receives the request. If it's not interested in the specific request, it forwards it to the next receiver. The request travels until one of the objects processes the request or until we reach the end of the chain. The chain is implemented as a single-linked list with each receiver holding a reference to its successor in the chain. The end of the chain is either a new reference or a reference to a special type. We can manage the chain of responders dynamically by adding new responders or removing existing ones from the list. In some cases, the responder may forward the request through the chain after it handles it. This way, multiple responders can process the same request.
