24 * This class represents a request that is made to the {@link RequestResponseBus}. It is passed to a {@link RequestDispatcher} for dispatching to a {@link RequestProcessor}.

26 * The hint and the desiredReturnType can be null if this request does not care about the returntype or if this request does not want to select listeners based on a hint.
