contextScope attribute setting

[Harshana Dias]

Hey,

We know we can set request scope attribute in a servlet and pass them in to a servlet like,

request.setAttribute("x", xyz);
RequestDispatcher v=request.getRequestDispatcher("abc.jsp");
v.forward(request, response);

Likewise how to set application scope attribute and call a jsp (dispatching) like above?

Thank You.

Hi, Harshana. To set application scope attribute, use

   ServletContext application=getServletContext();
application.setAttribute("x", "xyz");

yes. i was asked how to dispatch it for a jsp but i was stupid becuse we no need to dispatch those attributes for a jsp or any other in the web app since its application scope so its already available know for any part of the application.

any way thankx Chinmaya.
