Issue
Dose Web Application Context and Servlet Application Context is same thing? I think these are same but different name. Am I right?
Solution
If you speak about Servlet Context
and not spring-servlet
:
They are different things.
Every Java web applications that use Servlet technology will have a servlet context
, doesn't related to Spring.
Servlet-context started when a Servlet application is deployed. Servlet Context holds all the configurations.
On the other hand, ApplicationContext
is a Spring tech; i.e., it's a container to hold Spring beans.
So, for your questions, those are different.
BTW, spring-servlet
it's a single front servlet handles all the HTTP requests of a particular web application. This front servlet has all the controls over incoming requests.
