Can I get the webapp context path from the init method of a servlet

[Stephen Ince]

I am trying to get the context path from the javax.servlet API  for a
servlet when it is being initialized (init) and not when it is invoked (not
via service, doGet, doPost ..).
I know that I can get it from the request.getContextPath() method but this
can only be done when the
servlet is invoked.

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
   :
   public void init(ServletConfig config) {
       super.init(config)
       // get context path for this servlet
   }

}
