Solution

getServletContext()The method is introduced in Servlets 3.0, not 2.3. But if you want to get the ServletContext that then a alternative method to get it is:

1 ServletContext context = request.getsession (). Getservletcontext (); 2 3 if NULL ) {4     context.setattribute ("Savedusername", username); 5 }6 writer.println ("Context Parameter:" + (String) context.getattribute ("Savedusername"));

This is the "can get" stored Request Parameter Value in different browser ....
