Here is the doubt I have come up with ServletContext is one per web-app

  • 0

Here is the doubt I have come up with ServletContext is one per web-app and one per JVM. But if I am running more than one web-app on the same JVM. Then it has 2 ServletContext per JVM. Is it Possible? Can anybody elaborate on this?

    Each webapp will have its own ServletContext. The way the api docs put it is:

    There is one context per “web application” per Java Virtual Machine. (A “web application” is a collection of servlets and content installed under a specific subset of the server’s URL namespace such as /catalog and possibly installed via a .war file.)

    The “per web application” part means that if you set up the application in a cluster then each node in the cluster has a separate JVM, and that JVM will be running separate copies of all the applications, including a ServletContext for each webapp.
