review text: Detailed local analysis is presented of a quantum scalar field confined within a rectangular spatial cavity by Dirichlet conditions on the cavity walls. Integration over the cavity to obtain from this local description the known global Casimir effect for the cavity reveals the precise role played by wall, edge, and corner boundary divergences in producing the global Casimir effect.
