There is one ServletConfig object per servlet. So if there are 10 servlets in an application, there would be 10 ServletConfig objects.

 And there is only one ServletContext object per aplication.

i wud like to clarify shyamalatha point.....there is only one servlet context for an entire application where as for every servlet, there is a servlet config object....Using the servlet context, a servlet can view the environment in which it is running .....use the context to store global values...where as using servlet config....it can initialise itself...

The answers above are not fully correct. The correct answer is1. There is a servlet config per servlet in an application. (Almost, all got this right)2. There is one ServletContext, per application and per jvm. Per jvm is the missing piece. Its about the same app running in multiple jvms
