/**
 * Simple extension of {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet} which treats
 * its config parameters (<code>init-param entries within the
 * <code>servlet tag in web.xml) as bean properties.
 *
 * <p>A handy superclass for any type of servlet. Type conversion of config
 * parameters is automatic, with the corresponding setter method getting
 * invoked with the converted value. It is also possible for subclasses to
 * specify required properties. Parameters without matching bean property
 * setter will simply be ignored.
 *
 * <p>This servlet leaves request handling to subclasses, inheriting the default
 * behavior of HttpServlet (<code>doGet, doPost, etc).
 *
 * <p>This generic servlet base class has no dependency on the Spring
 * {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext} concept. Simple
 * servlets usually don't load their own context but rather access service
 * beans from the Spring root application context, accessible via the
 * filter's {@link #getServletContext() ServletContext} (see
 * {@link org.springframework.web.context.support.WebApplicationContextUtils}).
 *
 * <p>The {@link FrameworkServlet} class is a more specific servlet base
 * class which loads its own application context. FrameworkServlet serves
 * as direct base class of Spring's full-fledged {@link DispatcherServlet}.
