org.springframework.web.util.IntrospectorCleanupListener的用途
Spring官方API中对其描述如下
/**
* Listener that flushes the JDK's {@link java.beans.Introspector JavaBeans Introspector}
* cache on web app shutdown. Register this listener in your <code>web.xml</code> to
* guarantee proper release of the web application class loader and its loaded classes.
*
* <p><b>If the JavaBeans Introspector has been used to analyze application classes,
* the system-level Introspector cache will hold a hard reference to those classes.
* Consequently, those classes and the web application class loader will not be
* garbage-collected on web app shutdown!</b> This listener performs proper cleanup,
* to allow for garbage collection to take effect.
*
* <p>Unfortunately, the only way to clean up the Introspector is to flush
* the entire cache, as there is no way to specifically determine the
* application's classes referenced there. This will remove cached
* introspection results for all other applications in the server too.
*
* <p>Note that this listener is <i>not</i> necessary when using Spring's beans
* infrastructure within the application, as Spring's own introspection results
* cache will immediately flush an analyzed class from the JavaBeans Introspector
* cache and only hold a cache within the application's own ClassLoader.
*
* <b>Although Spring itself does not create JDK Introspector leaks, note that this
* listener should nevertheless be used in scenarios where the Spring framework classes
* themselves reside in a 'common' ClassLoader (such as the system ClassLoader).</b>
* In such a scenario, this listener will properly clean up Spring's introspection cache.
*
* <p>Application classes hardly ever need to use the JavaBeans Introspector
* directly, so are normally not the cause of Introspector resource leaks.
* Rather, many libraries and frameworks do not clean up the Introspector:
* e.g. Struts and Quartz.
*
* <p>Note that a single such Introspector leak will cause the entire web
* app class loader to not get garbage collected! This has the consequence that
* you will see all the application's static class resources (like singletons)
* around after web app shutdown, which is not the fault of those classes!
*
* <p><b>This listener should be registered as the first one in <code>web.xml</code>,
* before any application listeners such as Spring's ContextLoaderListener.</b>
* This allows the listener to take full effect at the right time of the lifecycle.

翻译过来大致就是下面的意思
