/**
 * <p>A servlet that implements the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/eventsource/">event source protocol</a>,
 * also known as "server sent events".</p>
 * <p>This servlet must be subclassed to implement abstract method {@link #newEventSource(HttpServletRequest)}
 * to return an instance of {@link EventSource} that allows application to listen for event source events
 * and to emit event source events.</p>
 * <p>This servlet supports the following configuration parameters:</p>
 * <ul>
 *     <li><code>heartBeatPeriod</code>, that specifies the heartbeat period, in seconds, used to check
 *     whether the connection has been closed by the client; defaults to 10 seconds.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>NOTE: there is currently no support for <code>last-event-id</code>.</p>
