 * servlet container, for example, to get the MIME type of a file,

 *
 * <p>There is one context per "web application" per Java Virtual Machine.  (A
 * "web application" is a collection of servlets and content installed under a
 * specific subset of the server's URL namespace such as <code>/catalog</code>
 * and possibly installed via a <code>.war</code> file.)

 * application marked "distributed" in its deployment descriptor, there will
 * be one context instance for each virtual machine.  In this situation, the
 * context cannot be used as a location to share global information (because
 * the information won't be truly global).  Use an external resource like
 * a database instead.
 *
 * <p>The <code>ServletContext</code> object is contained within
 * the {@link ServletConfig} object, which the Web server provides the
 * servlet when the servlet is initialized.
