public interface ServletContext
There is one context per "web application" per Java Virtual Machine. (A
"web application" is a collection of servlets and content installed under a
specific subset of the server's URL namespace such as /catalog
and possibly installed via a .war
file.)
In the case of a web application marked "distributed" in its deployment descriptor, there will be one context instance for each virtual machine. In this situation, the context cannot be used as a location to share global information (because the information won't be truly global). Use an external resource like a database instead.
The ServletContext
object is contained within
the ServletConfig
object, which the Web server provides the
servlet when the servlet is initialized.

The context path is the portion of the request URI that is used to select the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. If this context is the "root" context rooted at the base of the Web server's URL name space, this path will be an empty string. Otherwise, if the context is not rooted at the root of the server's name space, the path starts with a / character but does not end with a / character.
It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by
more than one context path. In such cases the
HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()
will return the actual context path used by the request and it may
differ from the path returned by this method.
The context path returned by this method should be considered as the
prime or preferred context path of the application.
HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()
ServletContext getContext(String uripath)
ServletContext
object that
corresponds to a specified URL on the server.
This method allows servlets to gain
access to the context for various parts of the server, and as
needed obtain RequestDispatcher
objects from the context.
The given path must be begin with /, is interpreted relative
to the server's document root and is matched against the context
roots of other web applications hosted on this container.
In a security conscious environment, the servlet container may
return null
for a given URL.

Paths indicating subdirectory paths end with a /.
The returned paths are all relative to the root of the web application, or relative to the /META-INF/resources directory of a JAR file inside the web application's /WEB-INF/lib directory, and have a leading /.
The returned set is not backed by the ServletContext
object,
so changes in the returned set are not reflected in the
ServletContext
object, and vice-versa.
For example, for a web application containing:
/welcome.html
/catalog/index.html
/catalog/products.html
/catalog/offers/books.html
/catalog/offers/music.html
/customer/login.jsp
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/classes/com.acme.OrderServlet.class
/WEB-INF/lib/catalog.jar!/META-INF/resources/catalog/moreOffers/books.html
getResourcePaths("/") would return
{"/welcome.html", "/catalog/", "/customer/", "/WEB-INF/"},
and getResourcePaths("/catalog/") would return
{"/catalog/index.html", "/catalog/products.html",
"/catalog/offers/", "/catalog/moreOffers/"}.path
- the partial path used to match the resources,
which must start with a /URL getResource(String path) throws MalformedURLException
The path must begin with a / and is interpreted as relative to the current context root, or relative to the /META-INF/resources directory of a JAR file inside the web application's /WEB-INF/lib directory. This method will first search the document root of the web application for the requested resource, before searching any of the JAR files inside /WEB-INF/lib. The order in which the JAR files inside /WEB-INF/lib are searched is undefined.
This method allows the servlet container to make a resource
available to servlets from any source. Resources
can be located on a local or remote
file system, in a database, or in a .war
file.
The servlet container must implement the URL handlers
and URLConnection
objects that are necessary
to access the resource.
This method returns null
if no resource is mapped to the pathname.
Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned by this method using the methods of the URL class.
The resource content is returned directly, so be aware that
requesting a .jsp
page returns the JSP source code.
Use a RequestDispatcher
instead to include results of
an execution.
This method has a different purpose than
java.lang.Class.getResource
,
which looks up resources based on a class loader. This
method does not use class loaders.

Meta-information such as content length and content type
that is available via getResource

The servlet container must implement the URL handlers

For example, if path is equal to /index.html, this method will return the absolute file path on the server's filesystem to which a request of the form http://<host>:<port>/<contextPath>/index.html would be mapped, where <contextPath> corresponds to the context path of this ServletContext.
The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators.
Resources inside the /META-INF/resources directories of JAR files bundled in the application's /WEB-INF/lib directory must be considered only if the container has unpacked them from their containing JAR file, in which case the path to the unpacked location must be returned.

FilterRegistration.Dynamic addFilter(String filterName, String className)
The registered filter may be further configured via the returned
FilterRegistration
object.
The specified className will be loaded using the classloader associated with the application represented by this ServletContext.
If this ServletContext already contains a preliminary FilterRegistration for a filter with the given filterName, it will be completed (by assigning the given className to it) and returned.
This method supports resource injection if the class with the given className represents a Managed Bean. See the Java EE platform and JSR 299 specifications for additional details about Managed Beans and resource injection.

As part of this method call, the container must load the class with the specified class name to ensure that it implements one of the required interfaces.
If the class with the given name implements a listener interface
whose invocation order corresponds to the declaration order (i.e.,
