/**
* Interface which allows a library/runtime to be notified of a web
* application's startup phase and perform any required programmatic
* registration of servlets, filters, and listeners in response to it.
*
* Implementations of this interface may be annotated with
* {@link javax.servlet.annotation.HandlesTypes HandlesTypes}, in order to
* receive (at their {@link #onStartup} method) the Set of application
* classes that implement, extend, or have been annotated with the class
* types specified by the annotation.
*
*
If an implementation of this interface does not use this annotation,
* or none of the application classes match the ones specified
* by the annotation, the container must pass a null Set of classes
* to {@link #onStartup}.
*
*
When examining the classes of an application to
* see if they match any of the criteria specified by the HandlesTypes
* annotation of a ServletContainerInitializer, the container may run into
* classloading problems if any of the application's optional JAR
* files are missing. Because the container is not in a position to decide
* whether these types of classloading failures will prevent
* the application from working correctly, it must ignore them,
* while at the same time providing a configuration option that would
* log them.
*
*
Implementations of this interface must be declared by a JAR file
* resource located inside the META-INF/services directory and
* named for the fully qualified class name of this interface, and will be
* discovered using the runtime's service provider lookup mechanism
* or a container specific mechanism that is semantically equivalent to
* it. In either case, ServletContainerInitializer services from web
* fragment JAR files excluded from an absolute ordering must be ignored,
* and the order in which these services are discovered must follow the
* application's classloading delegation model.
*
* @see javax.servlet.annotation.HandlesTypes
