/**
 * Performs the actual initialization work for the root application context.
 * Called by {@link ContextLoaderListener}.
 *
 * <p>Looks for a {@link #CONTEXT_CLASS_PARAM "contextClass"} parameter at the
 * {@code web.xml} context-param level to specify the context class type, falling
 * back to {@link org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext}
 * if not found. With the default ContextLoader implementation, any context class
 * specified needs to implement the {@link ConfigurableWebApplicationContext} interface.
 *
 * <p>Processes a {@link #CONFIG_LOCATION_PARAM "contextConfigLocation"} context-param
 * and passes its value to the context instance, parsing it into potentially multiple
 * file paths which can be separated by any number of commas and spaces, e.g.
 * "WEB-INF/applicationContext1.xml, WEB-INF/applicationContext2.xml".
 * Ant-style path patterns are supported as well, e.g.
 * "WEB-INF/*Context.xml,WEB-INF/spring*.xml" or "WEB-INF/&#42;&#42;/*Context.xml".
 * If not explicitly specified, the context implementation is supposed to use a
 * default location (with XmlWebApplicationContext: "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml").
 *
 * <p>Note: In case of multiple config locations, later bean definitions will
 * override ones defined in previously loaded files, at least when using one of
 * Spring's default ApplicationContext implementations. This can be leveraged
 * to deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra XML file.
 *
 * <p>Above and beyond loading the root application context, this class can optionally
 * load or obtain and hook up a shared parent context to the root application context.
 * See the {@link #loadParentContext(ServletContext)} method for more information.
 *
 * <p>As of Spring 3.1, {@code ContextLoader} supports injecting the root web
 * application context via the {@link #ContextLoader(WebApplicationContext)}
 * constructor, allowing for programmatic configuration in Servlet 3.0+ environments.
 * See {@link org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer} for usage examples.
