  - ### getAttribute

    public Object getAttribute(String name)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns the servlet container attribute with the given name, or `null` if there is no attribute by that name. An attribute allows a servlet container to give the servlet additional information not already provided by this interface. See your server documentation for information about its attributes. A list of supported attributes can be retrieved using `getAttributeNames`.

    The attribute is returned as a `java.lang.Object` or some subclass. Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Jakarta EE platform reserves names matching `jakarta.*`.

    Specified by:
      `getAttribute` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute
    Returns:
      an `Object` containing the value of the attribute, or `null` if no attribute exists matching the given name
    See Also:
      - `ServletContext.getAttributeNames()`

  - ### getAttributeNames

    public Enumeration<String> getAttributeNames()
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns an `Enumeration` containing the attribute names available within this servlet context. Use the `ServletContext.getAttribute(String)` method with an attribute name to get the value of an attribute.
    Specified by:
      `getAttributeNames` in interface `ServletContext`
    Returns:
      an `Enumeration` of attribute names
    See Also:
      - `ServletContext.getAttribute(String)`

  - ### getContext

    public ServletContext getContext(String uri)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a `ServletContext` object that corresponds to a specified URL on the server.

    This method allows servlets to gain access to the context for various parts of the server, and as needed obtain `RequestDispatcher` objects from the context. The given path must begin with "/", is interpreted relative to the server's document root and is matched against the context roots of other web applications hosted on this container.

    In a security conscious environment, the servlet container may return `null` for a given URL.

    Specified by:
      `getContext` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `uri` - a `String` specifying the context path of another web application in the container.
    Returns:
      the `ServletContext` object that corresponds to the named URL, or null if either none exists or the container wishes to restrict this access.
    See Also:
      - `RequestDispatcher`

  - ### getContextPath

    public String getContextPath()
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Return the main path associated with this context.
    Specified by:
      `getContextPath` in interface `ServletContext`
    Returns:
      The main context path

  - ### getInitParameter

    public String getInitParameter(String name)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a `String` containing the value of the named context-wide initialization parameter, or `null` if the parameter does not exist.

    This method can make available configuration information useful to an entire "web application". For example, it can provide a website administrator's email address or the name of a system that holds critical data.

    Specified by:
      `getInitParameter` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `name` - a `String` containing the name of the parameter whose value is requested
    Returns:
      a `String` containing the value of the initialization parameter
    See Also:
      - `ServletConfig.getInitParameter(String)`

  - ### getInitParameterNames

    public Enumeration<String> getInitParameterNames()
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns the names of the context's initialization parameters as an `Enumeration` of `String` objects, or an empty `Enumeration` if the context has no initialization parameters.
    Specified by:
      `getInitParameterNames` in interface `ServletContext`
    Returns:
      an `Enumeration` of `String` objects containing the names of the context's initialization parameters

    Specified by:
      `getMinorVersion` in interface `ServletContext`
    Returns:
      0

  - ### getMimeType

    public String getMimeType(String file)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns the MIME type of the specified file, or `null` if the MIME type is not known. The MIME type is determined by the configuration of the servlet container, and may be specified in a web application deployment descriptor. Common MIME types are `"text/html"` and `"image/gif"`.
    Specified by:
      `getMimeType` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `file` - a `String` specifying the name of a file
    Returns:
      a `String` specifying the file's MIME type

  - ### getNamedDispatcher

    public RequestDispatcher getNamedDispatcher(String name)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet.

    Servlets (and JSP pages also) may be given names via server administration or via a web application deployment descriptor. A servlet instance can determine its name using `ServletConfig.getServletName()`.

    This method returns `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher` for any reason.

    Specified by:
      `getNamedDispatcher` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `name` - a `String` specifying the name of a servlet to wrap
    Returns:
      a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet, or `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`
    See Also:
      - `RequestDispatcher`
      - `ServletContext.getContext(String)`
      - `ServletConfig.getServletName()`

  - ### getRealPath

    public String getRealPath(String path)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a `String` containing the real path for a given virtual path. For example, the path "/index.html" returns the absolute file path on the server's filesystem would be served by a request for "http://host/contextPath/index.html", where contextPath is the context path of this ServletContext.

    The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators. This method returns `null` if the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a `.war` archive).

    Specified by:
      `getRealPath` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `path` - a `String` specifying a virtual path
    Returns:
      a `String` specifying the real path, or null if the translation cannot be performed

  - ### getRequestDispatcher

    public RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(String path)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the resource located at the given path. A `RequestDispatcher` object can be used to forward a request to the resource or to include the resource in a response. The resource can be dynamic or static.

    The pathname must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root. Use `getContext` to obtain a `RequestDispatcher` for resources in foreign contexts. This method returns `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`.

    Specified by:
      `getRequestDispatcher` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `path` - a `String` specifying the pathname to the resource
    Returns:
      a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, or `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`
    See Also:
      - `RequestDispatcher`
      - `ServletContext.getContext(String)`

  - ### getResource

    public URL getResource(String path) throws MalformedURLException
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to a specified path. The path must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.

    This method allows the servlet container to make a resource available to servlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file system, in a database, or in a `.war` file.

    The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and `URLConnection` objects that are necessary to access the resource.

    This method returns `null` if no resource is mapped to the pathname.

    Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned by this method using the methods of the URL class.

    The resource content is returned directly, so be aware that requesting a `.jsp` page returns the JSP source code. Use a `RequestDispatcher` instead to include results of an execution.

    This method has a different purpose than `java.lang.Class.getResource`, which looks up resources based on a class loader. This method does not use class loaders.

    Specified by:
      `getResource` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `path` - a `String` specifying the path to the resource
    Returns:
      the resource located at the named path, or `null` if there is no resource at that path
    Throws:
      `MalformedURLException` - if the pathname is not given in the correct form

  - ### getResourceAsStream

    public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String path)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns the resource located at the named path as an `InputStream` object.

    The data in the `InputStream` can be of any type or length. The path must be specified according to the rules given in `getResource`. This method returns `null` if no resource exists at the specified path.

    Meta-information such as content length and content type that is available via `getResource` method is lost when using this method.

    The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and `URLConnection` objects necessary to access the resource.

    This method is different from `java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream`, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader.

    Specified by:
      `getResourceAsStream` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `path` - a `String` specifying the path to the resource
    Returns:
      the `InputStream` returned to the servlet, or `null` if no resource exists at the specified path

  - ### getResourcePaths

    public Set<String> getResourcePaths(String path)
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns a directory-like listing of all the paths to resources within the web application whose longest sub-path matches the supplied path argument. Paths indicating subdirectory paths end with a '/'. The returned paths are all relative to the root of the web application and have a leading '/'. For example, for a web application containing
    /welcome.html
    /catalog/index.html
    /catalog/products.html
    /catalog/offers/books.html
    /catalog/offers/music.html
    /customer/login.jsp
    /WEB-INF/web.xml
    /WEB-INF/classes/com.acme.OrderServlet.class,
    getResourcePaths("/") returns {"/welcome.html", "/catalog/", "/customer/", "/WEB-INF/"}
    getResourcePaths("/catalog/") returns {"/catalog/index.html", "/catalog/products.html", "/catalog/offers/"}.
    Specified by:
      `getResourcePaths` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `path` - the partial path used to match the resources, which must start with a /
    Returns:
      a Set containing the directory listing, or null if there are no resources in the web application whose path begins with the supplied path.

  - ### getServerInfo

    public String getServerInfo()
    Description copied from interface: `jakarta.servlet.ServletContext`
    Returns the name and version of the servlet container on which the servlet is running.

    The form of the returned string is servername/versionnumber. For example, the JavaServer Web Development Kit may return the string `JavaServer Web Dev Kit/1.0`.

    The servlet container may return other optional information after the primary string in parentheses, for example, `JavaServer Web Dev Kit/1.0 (JDK 1.1.6; Windows NT 4.0 x86)`.

    Specified by:
      `getServerInfo` in interface `ServletContext`

    If listeners are configured on the `ServletContext` the container notifies them accordingly.

    Specified by:
      `removeAttribute` in interface `ServletContext`
    Parameters:
      `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute to be removed
