1) Not sure what you mean here. Create an object and put it into the ServletContext? That can be done with getServletContext().setAttribute("name", object). If you meant "how do I create a ServletContext object", you don't. The servlet container does that for you.

2) Again, not sure what you mean. The method getServletContext() is provided by GenericServlet, from which HttpServlet inherits. Check the API for GenericServlet.

3) That's not something YOU do. The servlet container maps incoming requests to the appropriate servlet, and provides the request parameters through the HttpServletRequest object (which is a parameter of the doGet() and doPost() methods).

4) doGet() is called for HTML GET requests, doPost() for HTML POST requests. A request can only have one of these so its always clear which servlet method will be called.

5) You override them like any other method, by providing an implementation for them.
