Interface ServletContext
-
- All Known Implementing Classes:
ContextHandler.Context

,ServletContextHandler.Context
,WebAppContext.Context
public interface ServletContext
Defines a set of methods that a servlet uses to communicate with its servlet container, for example, to get the MIME type of a file, dispatch requests, or write to a log file.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.)In the case of a web application marked "distributed" in its deployment descriptor, there will be one context instance for each virtual machine. In this situation, the context cannot be used as a location to share global information (because the information won't be truly global). Use an external resource like a database instead.
The
ServletContext
object is contained within theServletConfig
object, which the Web server provides the servlet when the servlet is initialized.

getResourcePaths
java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getResourcePaths(java.lang.String path)
Returns a directory-like listing of all the paths to resources within the web application whose longest sub-path matches the supplied path argument. Paths indicating subdirectory paths end with a '/'. The returned paths are all relative to the root of the web application and have a leading '/'. For example, for a web application containing
/welcome.html
/catalog/index.html
/catalog/products.html
/catalog/offers/books.html
/catalog/offers/music.html
/customer/login.jsp
/WEB-INF/web.xml

getResourcePaths("/") returns {"/welcome.html", "/catalog/", "/customer/", "/WEB-INF/"}
getResourcePaths("/catalog/") returns {"/catalog/index.html", "/catalog/products.html", "/catalog/offers/"}.- Parameters:
path
- the partial path used to match the resources, which must start with a /- Returns:
- a Set containing the directory listing, or null if there are no resources in the web application whose path begins with the supplied path.
- Since:
- Servlet 2.3
-
getResource
java.net.URL getResource(java.lang.String path) throws java.net.MalformedURLException
Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to a specified path. The path must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.This method allows the servlet container to make a resource available to servlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file system, in a database, or in a
.war
file.The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and
URLConnection
objects that are necessary to access the resource.This method returns
null
if no resource is mapped to the pathname.Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned by this method using the methods of the URL class.
The resource content is returned directly, so be aware that requesting a
.jsp
page returns the JSP source code. Use aRequestDispatcher
instead to include results of an execution.This method has a different purpose than
java.lang.Class.getResource
, which looks up resources based on a class loader. This method does not use class loaders.- Parameters:
path
- aString
specifying the path to the resource- Returns:
- the resource located at the named path, or
null
if there is no resource at that path - Throws:
java.net.MalformedURLException
- if the pathname is not given in the correct form
-
getResourceAsStream
java.io.InputStream getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String path)
Returns the resource located at the named path as anInputStream
object.The data in the
InputStream
can be of any type or length. The path must be specified according to the rules given ingetResource
. This method returnsnull
if no resource exists at the specified path.Meta-information such as content length and content type that is available via
getResource
method is lost when using this method.The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and
URLConnection
objects necessary to access the resource.This method is different from
java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream
, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader.- Parameters:
path
- aString
specifying the path to the resource- Returns:
- the
InputStream
returned to the servlet, ornull
if no resource exists at the specified path
-
getRequestDispatcher
RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String path)
Returns aRequestDispatcher
object that acts as a wrapper for the resource located at the given path. ARequestDispatcher
object can be used to forward a request to the resource or to include the resource in a response. The resource can be dynamic or static.The pathname must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root. Use
getContext
to obtain aRequestDispatcher
for resources in foreign contexts. This method returnsnull
if theServletContext
cannot return aRequestDispatcher
.- Parameters:
path
- aString
specifying the pathname to the resource- Returns:
- a
RequestDispatcher
object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, ornull
if theServletContext
cannot return aRequestDispatcher
- See Also:
RequestDispatcher
,getContext(java.lang.String)
-
getNamedDispatcher
RequestDispatcher getNamedDispatcher(java.lang.String name)
Returns aRequestDispatcher
object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet.Servlets (and JSP pages also) may be given names via server administration or via a web application deployment descriptor. A servlet instance can determine its name using
ServletConfig.getServletName()
.This method returns
null
if theServletContext
cannot return aRequestDispatcher
for any reason.- Parameters:
name
- aString
specifying the name of a servlet to wrap- Returns:
- a
RequestDispatcher
object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet, ornull
if theServletContext
cannot return aRequestDispatcher
- See Also:

getServlet
Servlet getServlet(java.lang.String name) throws ServletException

. In this version, this method always returnsnull
and remains only to preserve binary compatibility. This method will be permanently removed in a future version of the Java Servlet API.In lieu of this method, servlets can share information using the
ServletContext
class and can perform shared business logic by invoking methods on common non-servlet classes.- Parameters:
name
- Not used- Returns:
- Always
null
- Throws:
ServletException

- The message to log with the exception
-
log
void log(java.lang.String message, java.lang.Throwable throwable)

that describes the error or exceptionthrowable
- theThrowable
error or exception
-
getRealPath
java.lang.String getRealPath(java.lang.String path)
Returns aString
containing the real path for a given virtual path. For example, the path "/index.html" returns the absolute file path on the server's filesystem would be served by a request for "http://host/contextPath/index.html", where contextPath is the context path of this ServletContext..The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators. This method returns
null
if the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a.war
archive).- Parameters:
path

specifying a virtual path- Returns:
- a
String
specifying the real path, or null if the translation cannot be performed
-
getServerInfo
java.lang.String getServerInfo()

JavaServer Web Dev Kit/1.0 (JDK 1.1.6; Windows NT 4.0 x86)
.- Returns:
- a
String
containing at least the servlet container name and version number
-
getInitParameter
java.lang.String getInitParameter(java.lang.String name)

-
getAttribute
java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name)
Returns the servlet container attribute with the given name, ornull

See your server documentation for information about its attributes. A list of supported attributes can be retrieved usinggetAttributeNames
.The attribute is returned as a
java.lang.Object
or some subclass. Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Java Servlet API specification reserves names matchingjava.*

ServletContext
the container notifies them accordingly.If a null value is passed, the effect is the same as calling
removeAttribute()
.Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Java Servlet API specification reserves names matching
java.*
