what is difference between servletconfig and servletcontext?..

ServletConfig and ServletContext are interfaces in
javax.servlet package
ServletConfig is one per one Servlet.Each servlet as its
own ServletConfig object.The ServletConfig object is
provided by the Container during the initialization phase
of the Servlet.ServletConfig object can be user to read
initialization parameters into the Servlet from web.xml.

ServletContext is one per one web-application.All servlets
which are in a web-application have common ServletContext.
ServletContext can be used to communicate the Servlet with
the ServletContainer.It can also be used to read
initialization parameters from web.xml.It can be used to
share some resources between servlets which are in a web-
application.(resources like Connection object)
