/**
 * Defines an exception that a servlet or filter throws to indicate
 * that it is permanently or temporarily unavailable. 
 *
 * <p>When a servlet or filter is permanently unavailable, something is wrong
 * with it, and it cannot handle
 * requests until some action is taken. For example, a servlet
 * might be configured incorrectly, or a filter's state may be corrupted.
 * The component should log both the error and the corrective action
 * that is needed.
 *
 * <p>A servlet or filter is temporarily unavailable if it cannot handle
 * requests momentarily due to some system-wide problem. For example,
 * a third-tier server might not be accessible, or there may be 
 * insufficient memory or disk storage to handle requests. A system
 * administrator may need to take corrective action.
 *
 * <p>Servlet containers can safely treat both types of unavailable
 * exceptions in the same way. However, treating temporary unavailability
 * effectively makes the servlet container more robust. Specifically,
 * the servlet container might block requests to the servlet or filter for a period
 * of time suggested by the exception, rather than rejecting them until
 * the servlet container restarts.
