/**
 * {@link FactoryBean} that fetches a specific, existing ServletContext attribute.
 * Exposes that ServletContext attribute when used as bean reference,

 * <p>Intended to link in ServletContext attributes that exist before
 * the startup of the Spring application context. Typically, such
 * attributes will have been put there by third-party web frameworks.
 * In a purely Spring-based web application, no such linking in of
 * ServletContext attributes will be necessary.
 *
 * <p><b>NOTE:</b> As of Spring 3.0, you may also use the "contextAttributes" default
 * bean which is of type Map, and dereference it using an "#{contextAttributes.myKey}"
 * expression to access a specific attribute by name.
