Description:

A replyPresenter instance is used by the httpserver to (possibly) wrap up the responses
of the service-generated pages into a common look.
Typically, by providing css and/or an extra div or frame around the generated page,
to impose a common corporate identity look on the pages.
By default, a PlainReplyRepresenter is set when an http-server is launched.
Take a look at the exept-replyPresenter as an example of a wrapper for exept-colors and an
extra set of framing divs, including a site-search.
