/**
 * AbstractLeakPreventer
 *
 * Abstract base class for code that seeks to avoid pinning of webapp classloaders by using the jetty classloader to
 * proactively call the code that pins them (generally pinned as static data members, or as static
 * data members that are daemon threads (which use the context classloader)).
 * 
 * Instances of subclasses of this class should be set with Server.addBean(), which will
 * ensure that they are called when the Server instance starts up, which will have the jetty
 * classloader in scope.
