 * Specifies an interface for setting and clearing a thread-bound {@link LoggerContext} in a Java EE web application.
 * Also defines constants for context parameter and attribute names. In most cases you will never need to use this
 * directly because the Log4j filter handles this task automatically. However, in async operations you should wrap
 * code that executes in separate threads with {@link #setLoggerContext} and {@link #clearLoggerContext}.
 *
 * 
 * You can obtain the instance of this for your web application by retrieving the {@link javax.servlet.ServletContext}
 * attribute named {@code org.apache.logging.log4j.core.web.Log4jWebSupport.INSTANCE}. If needed, you can also obtain
 * the {@link LoggerContext} instance for your web application by retrieving the {@code ServletContext} attribute named
 * {@code org.apache.logging.log4j.spi.LoggerContext.INSTANCE}.
