Re: How to retreive an application context path from a servlet init()

[Tim Funk]

Back in the day, the servlet spec was meant to be generic that it could 
server other protocols (FTP, ...,?) other than HTTP. Fast forward to now, 
http is really the only thing that makes sense with respect to the servlet 
spec. (There is something called sip, but thats a different story).

Since the ServletContext is part of javax.servlet, it should not know 
anything about the Context path. Since that is an HTTP artifact.

I don't understand why in the servlet specs it is not possible to get it in the 
servlet init ?
The container should know the application context when it deploies the servlet.
It's weird.

AFAIK, it can only be retrieved via the HttpServletRequest
