Did you override init(ServletConfig config) method?
YOu must call super(config) if you did...

Subject: getServletContext() throws NullPoinetException
I've just installed tomcat 3.2.2 and have the following problem.
I want to call getServletContext() from a servlets service method but
get the folowing exception
*Internal Servlet Error:*
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
javax.servlet.GenericServlet.getServletContext(GenericServlet.java:205)
at TestServlet.service(TestServlet.java:32)

Moreover the getServletConfig() returns null which is probably the main
reason for this problem
Any ideas??
