/**
* This annotation is used to declare the configuration of a {@link javax.servlet.Servlet}.
* If the name attribute is not defined, the fully qualified name of the class is used.
*
* At least one URL pattern MUST be declared in either the {@code value} or {@code urlPattern} attribute of the
* annotation, but not both.
*
* The {@code value} attribute is recommended for use when the URL pattern is the only attribute being set, otherwise
* the {@code urlPattern} attribute should be used.
*
* The class on which this annotation is declared MUST extend {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet}.
*
* E.g. @WebServlet("/path")}
* public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet ... {
* E.g. @WebServlet(name="TestServlet", urlPatterns={"/path", "/alt"})
* public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet ... {
