/**
 * This class is capable of receiving notifications about the undeployment of
 * a webapp, and responds by ensuring that commons-logging releases all
 * memory associated with the undeployed webapp.
 * <p>
 * In general, the WeakHashtable support added in commons-logging release 1.1
 * ensures that logging classes do not hold references that prevent an
 * undeployed webapp's memory from being garbage-collected even when multiple
 * copies of commons-logging are deployed via multiple classloaders (a
 * situation that earlier versions had problems with). However there are
 * some rare cases where the WeakHashtable approach does not work; in these
 * situations specifying this class as a listener for the web application will
 * ensure that all references held by commons-logging are fully released.
 * <p>
 * To use this class, configure the webapp deployment descriptor to call
 * this class on webapp undeploy; the contextDestroyed method will tell
 * every accessable LogFactory class that the entry in its map for the
 * current webapp's context classloader should be cleared.
 * 
 * @since 1.1
