-/**
- * Each lesson can define an endpoint which can support the lesson. So for example if you create a lesson which uses JavaScript and
- * needs to call out to the server to fetch data you can define an endpoint in that lesson. WebGoat will pick up this endpoint and
- * Spring will publish it.
- * <p/>
- * Find all the defined endpoints in the lessons and register those endpoints in the Spring context so later on the
- * Actuator will pick them up and expose them as real endpoints.
- * <p/>
- * We use the Actuator here so we don't have to do all the hard work ourselves (endpoint strategy pattern etc) so in a
- * lesson you can just define a subclass of LessonEndpoint which this class will publish as an endpoint. So we can
- * dynamically load endpoints from our plugins.
