Get ServletContext in Application

Question

Could you possibly explain how I can get the ServletContext instance in my Application\'s sub-class? Is it possible? I have tried to do it like in

Answer 1

There is interesting statement in documentation for Jersey version 1.18 for class com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

The servlet or filter may be configured to have an initialization parameter "com.sun.jersey.config.property.resourceConfigClass" or "javax.ws.rs.Application" and whose value is a fully qualified name of a class that implements ResourceConfig or Application. If the concrete class has a constructor that takes a single parameter of the type Map then the class is instantiated with that constructor and an instance of Map that contains all the initialization parameters is passed as the parameter.

If my understanding is correct the following constructor must be invoced with "an instance of Map that contains all the initialization parameters"

public class ExampleApplication extends Application {
    public ExampleApplication(Map initParams) {
    }
    ...
}

Here is appropriate part of web.xml:

  Jersey Web Application
  com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer
    
       javax.ws.rs.Application
       experiment.service.ExampleApplication
    

But somehow it failed for me with the following message:

SEVERE: Missing dependency for constructor public experiment.service.ExampleApplication(java.util.Map) at parameter index 0

And for current version of Jersey (2.5.1) there are no such statement in documentstion: https://jersey.java.net/apidocs/latest/jersey/org/glassfish/jersey/servlet/ServletContainer.html
