Description

Instead of having users configure filters, listeners and servlets within their web.xml files, we'd rather provide a programmatic approach to setting up the ServletContext.

We introduce a new interface WebModule, that encapsulates the configuration required for a set of filters, listeners and servlets.

We also introduce a new WebContextLister that acts as the single web-Application entry-point for setting up the ServletContext using these new WebModules.
