* 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 /catalog and
* possibly installed via a .war file.)
*

* In the case of a web 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.
*
*
* The ServletContext object is contained within the {@link ServletConfig} object, which the Web server
* provides the servlet when the servlet is initialized.
