* WW-5537 Add Container.destroy() to clear internal caches on undeploy

Container now exposes a destroy() method that clears factories, injectors,
constructors, and ThreadLocals. This releases Class<?> keys and JDK
DelegatingClassLoader instances that pin the webapp classloader.

DefaultConfiguration.destroy() calls container.destroy() and
reloadContainer() delegates to destroy() to avoid duplication.

Also fixes JSONCacheDestroyable referencing non-existent DefaultJSONWriter
(renamed to StrutsJSONWriter).

* WW-5537 Fix Container.destroy(): don't clear factories, don't call from reloadContainer

factories must remain intact because existing code holds direct
references to the Container after destroyConfiguration() and expects
it to still resolve dependencies (e.g. during configuration reload).

reloadContainer() reverted to clearing packageContexts/loadedFileNames
directly — calling destroy() there nulled the container reference and
cleared state needed during the bootstrap transition.

* WW-5537 Restore destroy() call in reloadContainer()

The test failures were caused by factories.clear() in
Container.destroy(), not by calling destroy() from reloadContainer().
Now that factories.clear() is removed, destroy() is safe to call
here — it clears packageContexts, loadedFileNames, and the container's
reflection caches in one place.

* WW-5537 Fix Sonar issues: thread-safe FinalizableReferenceQueue, empty method comments

- Replace volatile field with AtomicReference in FinalizableReferenceQueue
  for proper thread safety using getAndSet()
- Add comments to empty destroy() implementations in test mocks
- Replace deprecated new URL() with URI.toURL() in DispatcherCleanupTest
- Add comments to empty listener methods in DispatcherCleanupTest

Struts 2 Apps

These module consists of two example applications, which were built using the Apache Struts project. One is an old-fashioned Web application and another is a modern REST based single page app.

Installation

Enter a given folder, either showcase/ or rest-showcase/ and start the app using Maven:

mvn jetty:run

then open your browser at http://localhost:8080 and navigate to a proper context.
