/**
* Interface for receiving notification events about ServletRequest
* attribute changes.
*
* Notifications will be generated while the request
* is within the scope of the web application. A ServletRequest
* is defined as coming into scope of a web application when it
* is about to enter the first servlet or filter of the web
* application, and as going out of scope when it exits the last
* servlet or the first filter in the chain.
*
*
In order to receive these notification events, the implementation
* class must be either declared in the deployment descriptor of the web
* application, annotated with {@link javax.servlet.annotation.WebListener},
* or registered via one of the addListener methods defined on
* {@link ServletContext}.
*
*
The order in which implementations of this interface are invoked is
* unspecified.

* @since Servlet 2.4
