Context obect

what is a Context Object?
Is there any relationship between ServletContext object and EntityContext Object.

hi
yes there is difference between servletContext and EntityContext
ServletContext is in webApplication or servletContainer
EntityContext is in EJB container
both have different workSpace
for every web application there is different servletContext
from this you will get clear idea of everyThing

Thats correct. Your servlets are associated with a ServletContext object, and your EJB's with an EntityContext. Each allow you to communicate with the container (and vice versa) but they are completely different things in "context" to their respective containers.

Just to clarify the text in bold above -
EntityContext is for Entity EJBs only. For session EJBs it is SessionContext.
