/**
 * Superclass for TestNG test cases using a Spring context.
 *
 * <p>Maintains a static cache of contexts by key. This has significant performance
 * benefit if initializing the context would take time. While initializing a 
 * Spring context itself is very quick, some beans in a context, such as
 * a LocalSessionFactoryBean for working with Hibernate, may take some time
 * to initialize. Hence it often makes sense to do that initializing once.
 *
 * <p>Any ApplicationContext created by this class will be asked to register a JVM
 * shutdown hook for itself. Unless the context gets closed early, all context
 * instances will be automatically closed on JVM shutdown. This allows for freeing
 * external resources held by beans within the context, e.g. temporary files.
 *
 * <p>Normally you won't extend this class directly but rather extend one of
 * its subclasses.
