Filter initialization is one of the last things to happen in web app startup. The ServletContainerInitializer sets the threads logger context so that web app startup procedures can use it. The filter's init() method clears it near the end of startup so that it doesn't bleed into another web app.
Then, on web apps shutdown, destruction of filters is one of the first things to happen. The filter's destroy() sets the logger context so that the web app shutdown procedures can use it.
