Difference between application context and servlet context

HI,
what are the differences between an application context and a servlet context?
Also can any body elaborate on context path and servlet path. To quote servlet spec:
Context path: The path prefix associated with the ServletContext that this
servlet is a part of.
Servlet Path: The path section that directly corresponds to the mapping
which activated this request.Thanks in advance.

Application context and Servlet Context are pretty much interchangeable terms IIRC.
ContextPath == name of your web application
ServletPath == path to the servlet
Given http://localhost:8080/myWebApp/myServlet
contextPath == myWebApp
servletPath == myServlet
A jsp to help you understand this:
Working with server: <%= application.getServerInfo() %><br>
Servlet Specification: <%= application.getMajorVersion() %>.<%= application.getMinorVersion() %> <br>
Sessionid : <%= session.getId() %><br>
QueryString: <%= request.getQueryString() %><br>
ContextPath: <%= request.getContextPath() %><br>
ServletPath: <%= request.getServletPath() %><br>Cheers,
evnafets

  • Difference between application.cfm and application.cfc

    Hi,
    Can anybody explain the difference between Application.cfm
    and application.cfc?
    For example:
    I have Application.cfm and Application.cfc in the same
    folder.
    /folder/application.cfm
    /folder/application.cfc
    /folder /test.cfm
    …. And I run the test.cfm.
    Which one is executed first?
    Thanks,
    Krishna

    Your last question - Which one is executed first?
    The application.cfc will be executed first if you call the
    test.cfm. The application.cfm will not get executed.
    and, about ur first question... cfm and cfc are entirely
    different. You have onRequestStart, onRequestEnd and other events
    on cfc. cfc is powerful than cfm.

  • Difference between Application .cfc and .cfm?

    Title says it all. I'm a bit confused about the difference
    between Application.cfc and .cfm.
    I understand a bit more about the .cfc, where you define
    methods onRequestStart, etc.
    Yet in an example I'm following, they use .cfm and the
    <cfapplication> tag. Both seem to get called, but should I
    only be using one file? Or?
    Also since both can be used what is the calling order by
    ColdFusion or is one ignored if the other is present?

    if you have both files in the same location, only .cfc is
    processed.
    .cfm is ignored if .cfc is found.

  • Difference between Application.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentCulture

    Can someone tell me the difference between Application.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentCulture.
    Thread has CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture. But Application has only CurrentCulture. Why?
    (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.currentculture(v=vs.110).aspx)
    (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.thread.currentculture(v=vs.110).aspx)

    1)
    Application.CurrentCulture delegates to Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture("Gets or sets the culture information for the current thread") so it only sets it for the main thread of the
    application.
    2) They are both properties of a Thread object, which you can access via Thread.CurrentThread.
    CurrentCulture – Tells you the user’s current locale, as set in the Region
    applet.  I.e.: Where is the user located?
    CurrentUICulture – Tells you the native language of the version of Windows
    that is installed.  I.e.: What language does the user speak?
    The user can change CurrentCulture using the Region applet.  It’s used to determine formatting for numeric and date/time
    strings.

    Hi,
    just want to clarify that is is not correct that only one enqueue process can be configured on the CI.
    Please see the documentation within transaction RZ11 for the parameter Parameter : rdisp/wp_no_enq
    Short description : number of enqueue work processes
    Parameter description :
    You can use this parameter to define the number of enqueue work processes for the instance.
    Ensure that a value >0 is only set on the central instance that provides the enqueue server (instance rdisp/enqname ). One enqueue work process on the central instance is normally sufficient (rdisp/wp_no_enq = 1); only in very large systems can a higher value be useful.

    Hi,
    the SAP Web Application Server is the reliable, open standard-based application server from SAP. It supports both J2EE and ABAP, and serves as the underlying infrastructure for all new and upcoming SAP solutions, like SAP R/3 Enterprise, SAP Portal, SAP Exchange Infrastructure, and all other SAP components.
    The SAP Web Application Server is not a new product, it is the natural evolution of proven SAP application server technology formerly known as SAP Basis. It provides the platform to develop, execute, and operate Web applications and Web services as well as traditional SAP GUI based applications
    if it helpful rewards points are appreciated

  • Difference Between Application Express and XE

    Hello
    I am new and would like to know what is the difference between Application Express(Apex) and XE?
    Is XE a standalone version and Apex is more like an enterprise editiion?
    Thanks

    read on http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_and_xe.html
    Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) includes Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX) release 2.1, a declarative, graphical development environment for creating database-centric Web applications. Oracle APEX is installed in Oracle Database XE as the primary tool for managing the database and building Web-based applications. The majority of the administration tasks of Oracle Database 10g Express Edition can be performed using the administrative features of Oracle APEX, such as monitor database activity and manage database users, storage, memory and database objects. The simple Web-based interface enables users with minimum Oracle experience to easily manage the database. Application Express is pre-installed and fully configured, and it is immediately available after installation of Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.
    Is XE a standalone version and Apex is more like an enterprise editiion?XE is oracle database (free) it for test or using on limit (to 4GB of user data, use up to 1GB of memory, and use one CPU on the host machine)
    APEX is application (Web) can integrate on Oracle Database Enterprise, Standard and .... RAC

  • Difference between web server and servlet container

    I can't able to figure out the techincal difference between web server(such as java web server) and servlet containers(such as jakarta-tomcat).If you please let me know then I will be very thankful to you.

    The web server serves html pages to browsers that request pages. It can also send images, javascript, flash content, and a few other things. When a request comes into the web server for a servlet or jsp, the web server calls on the Servlet container to do THOSE jobs.
    The Servlet container is the execution environment for a jsp or servlet (they are both servlets) to run Java code on the server and do logic.
    So you see, the web server spits out static content, where either no logic is involved, or the client's web browser does the logic. The Servlet container is used for applications that execute code, perform logic, connect to databases, etc.
    So they work together, but are completely separate logically.

  • What's the difference between Application ID and Product ID for WP App?

    Anyone know what's the difference between the Application ID on Marketplace and the
    Product ID in WMAppManifest.xml?  Can I get the Application ID before I sumbit the app to Marketplace? Thank you.

    Hello the ApplicationID is the ProductID on the WMAppManifest.xml, when you create a new project, a generic
    ProductID is assigned to your app, and once you send your app to the store, the generic
    ProductID is replaced with a new one (which will be assigned permanently to your app
    unless you do a new App Submission, which means each update will have that same ID). AFAIK once your app is certified you'll get the ApplicationID, you can send it and publish it manually, so you could
    have the AppID before people start downloading the app.
    (if you need the AppID for testing IAP, you may want to try sending your App as a Beta version)
    I hope it helps
    Yassine,
    Now I think I understand them, thank you!

  • Is there a difference between server apps and Servlets?

    I am trying to figure out if I should write a server application or a servlet and I am trying to get some info on both.

    Thanks for the responses, they make sense based on what I've read so far.
    So let's say you have a server application as opposed to a servlet for a web application. How do you tell the application that you want it to do something? Is it standard practice these days to put the server-side code on a webserver, even if this isn't for a web application, and then have the entry point into the server-side code be a class that extends GenericServlet? Or is it more common (or better, or whatever) to have a server process (like a crontab job) start a Java program that sets up a ServerSocket?
    I'm learning the servlet stuff now, but I'm experiencing the same frustrations I have all along when learning various aspects of Java: even the best books tend to focus on one or two ways of doing things, and figuring out if it's the best way to do what I want to do is difficult, since the other ways aren't dealt with all that much and hardly any comparisons are made.
    Thanks for the input,
    Rich

  • Difference between catsearch(ctxcat) and contains(context)
