Why is this piece of code required from a servlet

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Hai , i have see a lot of codings in which this piece of code is always present.

ApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext());


Please tell me what is the use of this one .

You need it if you want to get the ApplicationContext from a servlet. Suppose you want to get a bean "myBean" from a servlet, then you need to do this.

    
ApplicationContext context = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(getServletContext()); 
MyBean myBean = context.getBean("myBean");
myBean.doSomething();

Hope this helps.
