Hi I read the following spec. This means that in a clustered environment the application scope is useless. I can't really believe this. Why do we have this scope then ?
Mohan The Server Specification states the following: "javax.servlet Interface ServletContext ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- public abstract 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 the ServletConfig object, which the Web server provides the servlet when the servlet is initialized.
