/**
* 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.
