/**
 * <p><code>ServletContextListener</code> that initializes and finalizes the
 * persistent storage of User and Subscription information for the Struts
 * Demonstration Application, using an in-memory database backed by an XML
 * file.</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p><strong>IMPLEMENTATION WARNING</strong> - If this web application is run
 * from a WAR file, or in another environment where reading and writing of the
 * web application resource is impossible, the initial contents will be copied
 * to a file in the web application temporary directory provided by the
 * container.  This is for demonstration purposes only - you should
 * <strong>NOT</strong> assume that files written here will survive a restart
 * of your servlet container.</p>
 * <p/>
 * <p>This class was borrowed from the Shale Mailreader. Changes were:</p>
 * <p/>
 * <ul>
 * <p/>
 * <li>Path to database.xml (under classes here). </li>
 * <p/>
 * <li>Class to store protocol list (an array here). </li>
 * <p/>
 * </ul>
 * <p/>
 * DEVELOPMENT NOTE - Another approach would be to instantiate the database via Spring.
