Dose Web Application Context and Servlet Application Context is same thing? I think these are same but different name. Am I right?

CodePudding user response：

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.
