  <p>
  Apache Tribes supports an interceptor architecture to intercept both messages and membership notifications.
  This architecture allows decoupling of logic and opens the way for some very useful feature add-ons.

<section name="Static Membership">
  <p>
   In addition to dynamic discovery, Apache Tribes also supports static membership, with membership verification.
   To achieve this add the <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.StaticMembershipInterceptor</code>
   after the <code>org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.TcpFailureDetector</code> interceptor.
   Inside the <code>StaticMembershipInterceptor</code> you can add the static members you wish to have.
   The <code>TcpFailureDetector</code> will do a health check on the static members,and also monitor them for crashes
   so they will have the same level of notification mechanism as the members that are automatically discovered.</p>

  <subsection name="org.apache.catalina.tribes.group.interceptors.EncryptInterceptor Attributes">
   <p>
     The EncryptInterceptor adds encryption to the channel messages carrying
     session data between nodes. Added in Tomcat 9.0.13.
   </p>
   <p>
     If using the <code>TcpFailureDetector</code>, the <code>EncryptInterceptor</code>
     <i>must</i> be inserted into the interceptor chain <i>before</i> the
     <code>TcpFailureDetector</code>. This is because when validating cluster
     members, <code>TcpFailureDetector</code> writes channel data directly
     to the other members without using the remainder of the interceptor chain,
     but on the receiving side, the message still goes through the chain (in reverse).
     Because of this asymmetry, the <code>EncryptInterceptor</code> must execute
     <i>before</i> the <code>TcpFailureDetector</code> on the sender and <i>after</i>
     it on the receiver, otherwise message corruption will occur.
   </p>
   <attributes>
     <attribute name="encryptionAlgorithm" required="false">
       The encryption algorithm to be used, including the mode and padding. Please see
       <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html">https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html</a>
       for the standard JCA names that can be used.

       EncryptInterceptor currently supports the following
       <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_mode_of_operation">block-cipher modes</a>:
       CBC, OFB, CFB, and GCM.

       The length of the key will specify the flavor of the encryption algorithm
       to be used, if applicable (e.g. AES-128 versus AES-256).

       The default algorithm is <code>AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding</code>.
     </attribute>
     <attribute name="encryptionKey" required="true">
       The key to be used with the encryption algorithm.

       The key should be specified as hex-encoded bytes of the appropriate
       length for the algorithm (e.g. 16 bytes / 32 characters / 128 bits for
       AES-128, 32 bytes / 64 characters / 256 bits for AES-256, etc.).
