/**
* Defines an exception that a servlet or filter throws to indicate
* that it is permanently or temporarily unavailable.
*
* When a servlet or filter is permanently unavailable, something is wrong
* with it, and it cannot handle
* requests until some action is taken. For example, a servlet
* might be configured incorrectly, or a filter's state may be corrupted.
* The component should log both the error and the corrective action
* that is needed.
*
* A servlet or filter is temporarily unavailable if it cannot handle
* requests momentarily due to some system-wide problem. For example,
* a third-tier server might not be accessible, or there may be
* insufficient memory or disk storage to handle requests. A system
* administrator may need to take corrective action.
*
* Servlet containers can safely treat both types of unavailable
* exceptions in the same way. However, treating temporary unavailability
* effectively makes the servlet container more robust. Specifically,
* the servlet container might block requests to the servlet or filter for a period
* of time suggested by the exception, rather than rejecting them until
* the servlet container restarts.
