ServletConfig<\/strong>
\nServletConfig is implemented by the servlet container to initialize a single servlet using init()<\/strong>. \u00a0you can pass initialization parameters to the servlet using the web.xml<\/strong> deployment descriptor. Every servlet has its own ServletConfig object.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example code:<\/p>\n

\n<servlet>\n<servlet-name>ServletConfigTest<\/servlet-name>\n<servlet-class>com.shivasoft.ServletConfigTest<\/servlet-class>\n<init-param>\n<param-name>article<\/param-name>\n<param-value>Difference between servletContext and ServletConfig<\/param-value>\n<\/init-param>\n<\/servlet>\n<\/pre>\n
ServletContext<\/strong>
\nServletContext is implemented by the servlet container for all servlet to communicate with its servlet container. It is applicable only within a single Java Virtual Machine.
\nThe ServletContext object is contained within the ServletConfig object<\/strong>. That is, the ServletContext can be accessed using the ServletConfig object within a servlet. You can specify param-value pairs for ServletContext object in \u00a0<context-param><\/strong> tags in web.xml file. ServletContext is created at the application level and shared by all the Servlet codes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Example : Database string used by the application.<\/p>\n
\n<context-param>\n<param-name>dbString<\/param-name>\n<param-value>Provider=MySQLProv;Data Source=shivasoft;User Id=shiva; Password=soft;<\/param-value>\n<\/context-param>\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
