One situation is when your application wants to communicate with other Application., i.e., for communication between applications

ServletContext contains the runtime environment information for all the servlets of the web application in question. In short, ServletContext's API 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.

The ServletContext object enables you to store information about your application and access environment information, such as the following:

• Initialization parameters
• MIME type
• Version information
• Path information

Servlets use the getServletContext method to obtain a reference to the ServletContext object.

Data

• Initialization parameters
• MIME type
• Version information
• Path information

is shared between the servlets as : One servlet puts the data in a well known place,which acts as a container and other servlets access the data from that place.These well known container or objects are;

ServletRequest  -- accessible only for the life of the request

HTTPSession    -- accessible only while client is active

ServletContext  --accessible for the life of the web Application

All the three Objects provide a method as:

- setAttribute();

- getAttribute();
