/**
 * Bootstrap listener to startup and shutdown the web application's Shiro
 * {@link WebEnvironment} at ServletContext startup and shutdown respectively.  This class exists only to
 * implement the {@link ServletContextListener} interface. All 'real' logic is done in the parent
 * {@link EnvironmentLoader} class.
 * <h2>Usage</h2>
 * Define the following in {@code web.xml}:
 * <pre>
 * <listener>
 *     <listener-class><code>org.apache.shiro.web.env.EnvironmentLoaderListener</code></listener-class>
 * </listener>
 * </pre>
 * Configuration options, such as the {@code WebEnvironment} class to instantiate as well as Shiro configuration
 * resource locations are specified as {@code ServletContext} {@code context-param}s and are documented in the
 * {@link EnvironmentLoader} JavaDoc.
 * <h2>Shiro Filter</h2>
 * This listener is almost always defined in conjunction with the
 * {@link org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.ShiroFilter ShiroFilter} to ensure security operations for web requests.  Please
 * see the {@link org.apache.shiro.web.servlet.ShiroFilter ShiroFilter} JavaDoc for more.
