/**
* This class is capable of receiving notifications about the undeployment of
* a webapp, and responds by ensuring that commons-logging releases all
* memory associated with the undeployed webapp.
*
* In general, the WeakHashtable support added in commons-logging release 1.1
* ensures that logging classes do not hold references that prevent an
* undeployed webapp's memory from being garbage-collected even when multiple
* copies of commons-logging are deployed via multiple classloaders (a
* situation that earlier versions had problems with). However there are
* some rare cases where the WeakHashtable approach does not work; in these
* situations specifying this class as a listener for the web application will
* ensure that all references held by commons-logging are fully released.
*
* To use this class, configure the webapp deployment descriptor to call
* this class on webapp undeploy; the contextDestroyed method will tell
* every accessible LogFactory class that the entry in its map for the
* current webapp's context classloader should be cleared.

// When there is only one LogFactory in the classpath, and it
// is within the webapp being undeployed then there is no problem;
// garbage collection works fine.
//
// When there are multiple LogFactory classes in the classpath but
// parent-first classloading is used everywhere, this loop is really
// short. The first instance of LogFactory found will
// be the highest in the classpath, and then no more will be found.
// This is ok, as with this setup this will be the only LogFactory
// holding any data associated with the tccl being released.
//
// When there are multiple LogFactory classes in the classpath and
// child-first classloading is used in any classloader, then multiple
// LogFactory instances may hold info about this TCCL; whenever the
// webapp makes a call into a class loaded via an ancestor classloader
// and that class calls LogFactory the tccl gets registered in
// the LogFactory instance that is visible from the ancestor
// classloader. However the concrete logging library it points
// to is expected to have been loaded via the TCCL, so the
// underlying logging lib is only initialised/configured once.
// These references from ancestor LogFactory classes down to
// TCCL classloaders are held via weak references and so should
// be released but there are circumstances where they may not.
// Walking up the classloader ancestry ladder releasing
// the current tccl at each level tree, though, will definitely
