Programming for beginners: @WebListener annotation

This annotation is used to declare a WebListener. Any class annotated with WebListener must implement one or more of the ServletContextListener, ServletContextAttributeListener, ServletRequestListener, ServletRequestAttributeListener, HttpSessionListener, or HttpSessionAttributeListener, or HttpSessionIdListener interfaces.
