One ServletContext - Object per WebApp.
AND: If you have the WebApp running on multiple maschines for loadbalancing/failover purposes:
One ServletContext Object per WebApp on every JVM.
If you have your webapp cool.war deployed on serverA, serverB, serverC there will be 3 ServletContext objects.

[Jim Bertorelli]

Just to add: The servlet context for the default web-app is non-distributable. That means it exists on only one JVM and is not copied to other JVMs.

Want to add some..

If you have your webapp cool.war deployed on serverA, serverB, serverC there will be 3 ServletContext objects.

If you have your webapp cool.war deployed on serverA, serverB, serverC there will be 3 ServletContext objects one on serverA,second on serverB and third on serverC
Is it right?
Bye.

Yes. As I said and Jim clarified. There is a long discussion about this topic:

This multi-server stuff puts aditional complexities one is not that aware of if coding with tomcat on a pc. But I am sure that its an important part of j2ee.
