/**
 * Jersey specific provider that listens to {@link ApplicationEvent application events}.
 * The implementation of this interface will be called for two kind of events:
 * application events and {@link RequestEvent request events}. This interface will listen to
 * all {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.monitoring.ApplicationEvent.Type application event types}
 * but only to first request event which is the {@link RequestEvent.Type#START}. On this event the
 * application event listener can decide whether it will listen to the request and return {@link RequestEventListener
 * request event listener} for listening to further request events.
 * }
 * <p/>
 * The implementation of this interface can be registered as a standard Jersey/JAX-RS provider
 * by annotating with {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider @Provider} annotation in the case of
 * class path scanning, by registering as a provider using {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig}
 * or by returning from {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Application#getClasses()}
 * or {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Application#getSingletons()}}. The provider can be registered only on the server
 * side.
 * <p/>
 * Application event listener can read data of events but must not modify them in any way. The implementation
 * must be thread safe (the methods might be called from different threads).
