Interface for receiving notification events about ServletContext
attribute changes.
In order to receive these notification events, the implementation class must be either declared in the deployment descriptor of the web application, annotated with WebListener, or registered via one of the addListener methods defined on ServletContext. 
The order in which implementations of this interface are invoked is
unspecified.
