Hi Ron,
The ServletContext is available for all servlets /
jsp's in your web application. So it is created before the init() method in Servlet is called. It's life time is pretty much the life time of the web application. ServletConfig is also created before init() method and passed in as a parameter to init(ServletConfig config) method.
You can create a class implements ServletContextListener and override contextInitialized(), contextDestroyed() methods. Add
in web.xml. See for yourself when is context initialized and destroyed.
