20   * The ServletModuleManager is responsible for servlets and filters - and their servlet contexts - defined in plugins.
21   * It is used by instances of the {@link ServletModuleContainerServlet} and {@link ServletFilterModuleContainerFilter}
22   * to lookup, create and wrap the filters and servlets defined in plugins.
23   * <p/>
24   * When the first {@link Filter} or {@link Servlet} is first accessed in a plugin, a new {@link ServletContext} is
25   * created for all the modules in the plugin to share.  This is done by wrapping the applications
26   * {@link ServletContext}, creating a map of attributes that are local to the plugin that are shadowed by the
27   * applications {@link ServletContext} attributes, merging any servlet context init parameters from the plugin and the
28   * application, and then running through any {@link ServletContextListener}s defined by the plugin has calling their
29   * contextInitialized() methods.
30   * <p/>
31   * The shadowing of the the plugins {@link ServletContext}s attributes are shadowed by the applications attributes
32   * means that if an attribute does not exist in the plugin local attribute map, the applications attributes will be
33   * returned.  The plugin is thereby prevented from modifying the base applications context attributes on an application
34   * wide scope and can instead only change them, but not remove them, on a local scope.
35   * <p/>
36   * The init parameters in the plugin will override parameters from the base applications servlet
37   * init parameters that have the same name.
38   * <p/>
39   * During the creation of Filters and Servlets, the {@link FilterConfig} and {@link ServletConfig} provided to
40   * Filters and Servlets contain the plugin local {@link ServletContext}, as described above,
41   * and provides access to the init parameters defined in the plugin xml for the Filter or Servlet.
42   * <p/>
43   * After being created, the filters and servlets are wrapped to ensure the the init(), service(), doFilter(),
44   * and destroy() methods and other methods defined in the Filter and Servlet interfaces are executed in the plugins
45   * {@link ClassLoader}.
46   * <p/>
47   * The plugins {@link ServletContext} is not destroyed until the plugin is disabled.  It is also at this time that any
48   * {@link ServletContextListener}s will have their contextDestroyed() methods called.
