>From the API: ServletConfig is a servlet configuration object used by a servlet container to pass information to a servlet during initialization. ServletContext defines a set of methods that a servlet uses to communicate with its servlet container to get the MIME type of a file, dispatch requests, or write to a log file, for example. The ServletContext object is contained within the ServletConfig object, which the Web server provides the servlet when the servlet is initialized. Since HttpServlet implements ServletConfig, it's ServletContext is available from both.
Nothing. In Servlet 2.1 GenericServlet was modified to accept a no-agrument init() and ServletConfig is handled in the background.
