/**
* {@code Servlet} that automatically scans chain configuration files
* in the current web application at startup time, and exposes the result in a
* {@link Catalog} under a specified servlet context attribute. The following
* <em>servlet</em> init parameters are utilized:
* <ul>
* <li><strong>org.apache.commons.chain.CONFIG_CLASS_RESOURCE</strong> -
* comma-delimited list of chain configuration resources to be loaded
* via {@code ClassLoader.getResource()} calls. If not specified,
* no class loader resources will be loaded.</li>
* <li><strong>org.apache.commons.chain.CONFIG_WEB_RESOURCE</strong> -
* comma-delimited list of chain configuration webapp resources
* to be loaded. If not specified, no web application resources
* will be loaded.</li>
* <li><strong>org.apache.commons.chain.CONFIG_ATTR</strong> -
* Name of the servlet context attribute under which the
* resulting {@link Catalog} will be created or updated.
* If not specified, it is expected that parsed resources will
* contain {@code <catalog>} elements (which will
* cause registration of the created {@link Catalog}s into
* the {@link CatalogFactory} for this application, and no
* servet context attribute will be created.
* <strong>NOTE</strong> - This parameter is deprecated.</li>
* <li><strong>org.apache.commons.chain.RULE_SET</strong> -
* Fully qualified class name of a Digester {@code RuleSet}
* implementation to use for parsing configuration resources (this
* class must have a public zero-args constructor). If not defined,
* the standard {@code RuleSet} implementation will be used.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>When a web application that has configured this servlet is
* started, it will acquire the {@link Catalog} under the specified servlet
* context attribute key, creating a new one if there is none already there.
* This {@link Catalog} will then be populated by scanning configuration
* resources from the following sources (loaded in this order):</p>
* <ul>
* <li>Resources loaded from specified resource paths from the
* webapp's class loader (via {@code ClassLoader.getResource()}).</li>
* <li>Resources loaded from specified resource paths in the web application
* archive (via {@code ServetContext.getResource()}).</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>If no attribute key is specified, on the other hand, parsed configuration
* resources are expected to contain {@code <catalog>} elements,
* and the catalogs will be registered with the {@link CatalogFactory}
* for this web application.</p>
*
* <p>This class runs on Servlet 2.2 or later. If you are running on a
* Servlet 2.3 or later system, you should also consider using
* {@link ChainListener} to initialize your {@link Catalog}. Note that
* {@link ChainListener} uses parameters of the same names, but they are
* <em>context</em> init parameters instead of <em>servlet</em> init
* parameters. Because of this, you can use both facilities in the
* same application, if desired.</p>
