Servlet Context without servlet

[Monmohan Singh]

Is it possible to get the Servlet or application context for a class(which is not a servlet) running in web container ??

[Jasmine kaur]

well to get context of servlet you can use method getServletContext() which will return u the servlet context .
See the servelt documentation as this method is available in every servlet class so u can use it and see , I hope this would work.
Thanks

if its running in a web container one would think it is called from a servlet, in which case you can pass the context object from the servlet to the other classes?

[Monmohan Singh]

I don't want to do that. It is called from servlet/JSP's but I want the class to be independent of that. i.e the class should be able to query something and get the servlet context

If you have a reference to ServletConfig in your class, you can use it to get the ServletContext.

Exactly what do you need from the servlet context? Perhaps there is a better way to get it.
It seems to me your requirements are incompatible - time for a redesign maybe. If you can make the class independent of the servlet environment, it will be easier to test.
