/**
 * 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 the default of
 * {@link org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext}
 * if not found. With the default ContextLoader implementation, any context class
 * specified needs to implement the 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.
