/**
* Servlet 3.0 {@link ServletContainerInitializer} designed to support code-based
* configuration of the servlet container using Spring's {@link WebApplicationInitializer}
* SPI as opposed to (or possibly in combination with) the traditional
* {@code web.xml}-based approach.
*
* Mechanism of Operation
* This class will be loaded and instantiated and have its {@link #onStartup}
* method invoked by any Servlet 3.0-compliant container during container startup assuming
* that the {@code spring-web} module JAR is present on the classpath. This occurs through
* the JAR Services API {@link ServiceLoader#load(Class)} method detecting the
* {@code spring-web} module's {@code META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer}
* service provider configuration file. See the
*
* JAR Services API documentation as well as section 8.2.4 of the Servlet 3.0
* Final Draft specification for complete details.
*
* In combination with {@code web.xml}
* A web application can choose to limit the amount of classpath scanning the Servlet
* container does at startup either through the {@code metadata-complete} attribute in
* {@code web.xml}, which controls scanning for Servlet annotations or through an
* {@code } element also in {@code web.xml}, which controls which
* web fragments (i.e. jars) are allowed to perform a {@code ServletContainerInitializer}
* scan. When using this feature, the {@link SpringServletContainerInitializer}
* can be enabled by adding "spring_web" to the list of named web fragments in
* {@code web.xml} as follows:
*
*
* {@code
*
* some_web_fragment
* spring_web
*
* }
*
* Relationship to Spring's {@code WebApplicationInitializer}
* Spring's {@code WebApplicationInitializer} SPI consists of just one method:
* {@link WebApplicationInitializer#onStartup(ServletContext)}. The signature is intentionally
* quite similar to {@link ServletContainerInitializer#onStartup(Set, ServletContext)}:
* simply put, {@code SpringServletContainerInitializer} is responsible for instantiating
* and delegating the {@code ServletContext} to any user-defined
* {@code WebApplicationInitializer} implementations. It is then the responsibility of
* each {@code WebApplicationInitializer} to do the actual work of initializing the
* {@code ServletContext}. The exact process of delegation is described in detail in the
* {@link #onStartup onStartup} documentation below.
*
* General Notes
* In general, this class should be viewed as supporting infrastructure for
* the more important and user-facing {@code WebApplicationInitializer} SPI. Taking
* advantage of this container initializer is also completely optional: while
* it is true that this initializer will be loaded and invoked under all Servlet 3.0+
* runtimes, it remains the user's choice whether to make any
* {@code WebApplicationInitializer} implementations available on the classpath. If no
* {@code WebApplicationInitializer} types are detected, this container initializer will
* have no effect.
*
* Note that use of this container initializer and of {@code WebApplicationInitializer}
* is not in any way "tied" to Spring MVC other than the fact that the types are shipped
* in the {@code spring-web} module JAR. Rather, they can be considered general-purpose
* in their ability to facilitate convenient code-based configuration of the
* {@code ServletContext}. In other words, any servlet, listener, or filter may be
* registered within a {@code WebApplicationInitializer}, not just Spring MVC-specific
* components.
*
*
This class is neither designed for extension nor intended to be extended.
* It should be considered an internal type, with {@code WebApplicationInitializer}
* being the public-facing SPI.
*
*

* See {@link WebApplicationInitializer} Javadoc for examples and detailed usage
* recommendations.

@HandlesTypes(WebApplicationInitializer.class)
public class SpringServletContainerInitializer implements ServletContainerInitializer {
/**
* Delegate the {@code ServletContext} to any {@link WebApplicationInitializer}
* implementations present on the application classpath.
*
Because this class declares @{@code HandlesTypes(WebApplicationInitializer.class)},
* Servlet 3.0+ containers will automatically scan the classpath for implementations
* of Spring's {@code WebApplicationInitializer} interface and provide the set of all
* such types to the {@code webAppInitializerClasses} parameter of this method.
*
If no {@code WebApplicationInitializer} implementations are found on the classpath,
* this method is effectively a no-op. An INFO-level log message will be issued notifying
* the user that the {@code ServletContainerInitializer} has indeed been invoked but that
* no {@code WebApplicationInitializer} implementations were found.
*
Assuming that one or more {@code WebApplicationInitializer} types are detected,
* they will be instantiated (and sorted if the @{@link
* org.springframework.core.annotation.Order @Order} annotation is present or
* the {@link org.springframework.core.Ordered Ordered} interface has been
* implemented). Then the {@link WebApplicationInitializer#onStartup(ServletContext)}
* method will be invoked on each instance, delegating the {@code ServletContext} such
* that each instance may register and configure servlets such as Spring's
* {@code DispatcherServlet}, listeners such as Spring's {@code ContextLoaderListener},
* or any other Servlet API componentry such as filters.
* @param webAppInitializerClasses all implementations of
* {@link WebApplicationInitializer} found on the application classpath
* @param servletContext the servlet context to be initialized
* @see WebApplicationInitializer#onStartup(ServletContext)
