 * <p>
 * This abstract class is meant to be a base for specific evaluator filters.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The value of the {@link #onMatch} and {@link #onMismatch} attributes is set to 
 * {@link Filter.NEUTRAL}, so that a badly configured evaluator filter doesn't 
 * disturb the functionning of the chain.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * It is expected that one of the two attributes will have its value changed to
 * {@link Filter.ACCEPT} or {@link Filter.DENY}. That way, it is possible to decide if 
 * a given result must be returned after the evaluation either failed or succeeded.
