 * <ul>
 * <li>There must be one instance of {@link TransportListener} for each protocol, but this servlet
 * may implement both HTTP and HTTPS.
 * <li>There is a collision between {@link TransportListener#destroy()} and

 * </ul>
 * The {@link TransportListener} implementation is provided by {@link AxisServletListener}. An
