NOTE: You usually do not need to be aware of these implementation classes.
Most applications are auto-configured, and the appropriate `ApplicationContext` and `ServletWebServerFactory` are created on your behalf.
In an embedded container setup, the `ServletContext` is set as part of server startup which happens during application context initialization.
Because of this beans in the `ApplicationContext` cannot be reliably initialized with a `ServletContext`.
One way to get around this is to inject `ApplicationContext` as a dependency of the bean and access the `ServletContext` only when it is needed.
Another way is to use a callback once the server has started.
This can be done using an `ApplicationListener` which listens for the `ApplicationStartedEvent` as follows:
