    Description

      For a webapp, Shiro is initialized during web.xml's <filter> initialization. Before this, the <listeners> are initialized and that is the recommended place for app initialization because, for one thing, they can be gracefully aborted.

      It would be nice if Shiro would support initialization in a listener's contextInitialized() method. Perhaps a new class like ShiroServletContextListener could be added.
