Consider the following webapp startup process:

1. web.xml specifies a <listener> and primary app initialization happens in
its contextInitialized() method.

2. The app initialization triggers some background process, which starts
with getSubject() ...

3. web.xml specifies a <filter> and the IniShiroFilter filter is invoked to
initialize shiro

The issue is that the background process which calls getSubject() will fail
because Shiro hasn't been initialized.  It appears that what I would like to
implement is a two-stage initialization:
    1. initialize the basic Shiro environment with our classpath shiro.ini
in the <listener> method.
    2. initialize the web-specific part of Shiro in IniShiroFilter.
It didn't seem like this two stage initialization is currently possible. 
Any ideas on this corner case?

(Note: App initialization early on with the listener is recommended, for one
reason because it allows for graceful aborting from startup.)

Thanks,
Dan
