servletContext& ServletConfig

[Sivasankar Dhandapani]

When we need to servletContext and ServletConfig , in what way it will help , when we go for servlet as controller?

[Ulf Dittmer]

- to get init parameters
- to get application resources
- to get request dispatchers
- to get application attributes

... and more, but a quick look at the API will show you what can be done through those interfaces.

[Amarender Reddy]

servlet config cannot communicate directly with the servlet container.

so it uses servlet context as a medium to talk to servlet container to avail

varoius services

cheers

Yes. There is no other better substitute.
