passing ServletContext

[Lucas Smith]

How can I get ServletContext object form ServletConfig?
Is ServletContext object passed somehow?

[Bear Bibeault]

Did you bother to even look at the javadoc?

[Lucas Smith]

Yes, I did read it. I try to ask smart guestions
I know that there is a method getServletContext() in ServletConfig but how does that reference appear in ServletConfig?

[Bear Bibeault]

If you know already know how to get it, then I do not understand the question.

The question is not very much clear, but the container puts the ServletContext in the ServletConfig object...

[Lucas Smith]

ServletConfig is passed to init(...) method of a servlet. How is ServletContext passed to ServletConfig object?

[Ankit Garg]

The container can call the ServletConfig.setServletContext to add the ServletContext object to ServletConfig. The container may use any other technique like reflection but whatever it is, the container has the responsibility of doing this work...

OK, thanks Ankit. It is clear.
