/**
 * Interface to be implemented in Servlet 3.0+ environments in order to configure the
 * {@link ServletContext} programmatically -- as opposed to (or possibly in conjunction
 * with) the traditional {@code web.xml}-based approach.
 *
 * 

Implementations of this SPI will be detected automatically by {@link * SpringServletContainerInitializer}, which itself is bootstrapped automatically * by any Servlet 3.0 container. See {@linkplain SpringServletContainerInitializer its * Javadoc} for details on this bootstrapping mechanism. * *

Example

*

The traditional, XML-based approach

* Most Spring users building a web application will need to register Spring's {@code * DispatcherServlet}. For reference, in WEB-INF/web.xml, this would typically be done as * follows: *
 * <servlet>
 *   <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
 *   <servlet-class>
 *     org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
 *   </servlet-class>
 *   <init-param>
 *     <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
 *     <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/dispatcher-config.xml</param-value>
 *   </init-param>
 *   <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 * </servlet>
 *
 * <servlet-mapping>
 *   <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
 *   <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
 * </servlet-mapping>
* *

The code-based approach with {@code WebApplicationInitializer}

* Here is the equivalent {@code DispatcherServlet} registration logic, * {@code WebApplicationInitializer}-style: *
 * public class MyWebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
 *
 *    @Override
 *    public void onStartup(ServletContext container) {
 *      XmlWebApplicationContext appContext = new XmlWebApplicationContext();
 *      appContext.setConfigLocation("/WEB-INF/spring/dispatcher-config.xml");
 *
 *      ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher =
 *        container.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(appContext));
 *      dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
 *      dispatcher.addMapping("/");
 *    }
 *
 * }
* * As an alternative to the above, you can also extend from {@link * org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer}. * * As you can see, thanks to Servlet 3.0's new {@link ServletContext#addServlet} method * we're actually registering an instance of the {@code DispatcherServlet}, and * this means that the {@code DispatcherServlet} can now be treated like any other object * -- receiving constructor injection of its application context in this case. * *

This style is both simpler and more concise. There is no concern for dealing with * init-params, etc, just normal JavaBean-style properties and constructor arguments. You * are free to create and work with your Spring application contexts as necessary before * injecting them into the {@code DispatcherServlet}. * *

Most major Spring Web components have been updated to support this style of * registration. You'll find that {@code DispatcherServlet}, {@code FrameworkServlet}, * {@code ContextLoaderListener} and {@code DelegatingFilterProxy} all now support * constructor arguments. Even if a component (e.g. non-Spring, other third party) has not * been specifically updated for use within {@code WebApplicationInitializers}, they still * may be used in any case. The Servlet 3.0 {@code ServletContext} API allows for setting * init-params, context-params, etc programmatically. * *

A 100% code-based approach to configuration

* In the example above, {@code WEB-INF/web.xml} was successfully replaced with code in * the form of a {@code WebApplicationInitializer}, but the actual * {@code dispatcher-config.xml} Spring configuration remained XML-based. * {@code WebApplicationInitializer} is a perfect fit for use with Spring's code-based * {@code @Configuration} classes. See @{@link * org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration Configuration} Javadoc for * complete details, but the following example demonstrates refactoring to use Spring's * {@link org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext * AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext} in lieu of {@code XmlWebApplicationContext}, and * user-defined {@code @Configuration} classes {@code AppConfig} and * {@code DispatcherConfig} instead of Spring XML files. This example also goes a bit * beyond those above to demonstrate typical configuration of the 'root' application * context and registration of the {@code ContextLoaderListener}: *
 * public class MyWebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
 *
 *    @Override
 *    public void onStartup(ServletContext container) {
 *      // Create the 'root' Spring application context
 *      AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext rootContext =
 *        new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
 *      rootContext.register(AppConfig.class);
 *
 *      // Manage the lifecycle of the root application context
 *      container.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(rootContext));
 *
 *      // Create the dispatcher servlet's Spring application context
 *      AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext dispatcherContext =
 *        new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
 *      dispatcherContext.register(DispatcherConfig.class);
 *
 *      // Register and map the dispatcher servlet
 *      ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher =
 *        container.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(dispatcherContext));
 *      dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
 *      dispatcher.addMapping("/");
 *    }
 *
 * }
* * As an alternative to the above, you can also extend from {@link * org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer}. * * Remember that {@code WebApplicationInitializer} implementations are detected * automatically -- so you are free to package them within your application as you * see fit. * *

Ordering {@code WebApplicationInitializer} execution

* {@code WebApplicationInitializer} implementations may optionally be annotated at the * class level with Spring's @{@link org.springframework.core.annotation.Order Order} * annotation or may implement Spring's {@link org.springframework.core.Ordered Ordered} * interface. If so, the initializers will be ordered prior to invocation. This provides * a mechanism for users to ensure the order in which servlet container initialization * occurs. Use of this feature is expected to be rare, as typical applications will likely * centralize all container initialization within a single {@code WebApplicationInitializer}. * *

Caveats

* *

web.xml versioning

*

{@code WEB-INF/web.xml} and {@code WebApplicationInitializer} use are not mutually * exclusive; for example, web.xml can register one servlet, and a {@code * WebApplicationInitializer} can register another. An initializer can even * modify registrations performed in {@code web.xml} through methods such as * {@link ServletContext#getServletRegistration(String)}. However, if * {@code WEB-INF/web.xml} is present in the application, its {@code version} attribute * must be set to "3.0" or greater, otherwise {@code ServletContainerInitializer} * bootstrapping will be ignored by the servlet container. * *

Mapping to '/' under Tomcat

*

Apache Tomcat maps its internal {@code DefaultServlet} to "/", and on Tomcat versions * <= 7.0.14, this servlet mapping cannot be overridden programmatically. * 7.0.15 fixes this issue. Overriding the "/" servlet mapping has also been tested * successfully under GlassFish 3.1.
