Setting and getting global attributes in servlets

[Bruce Lee]

If I start up a Jetty web application and set an attribute to the
HttpContext like so

server.getContext("/").setAttribute("objectname",obj);

How do I now get this attribute from a servlet?

Thanks

Haven't used Jetty meself, but for plain-ol' servlets it's:
HttpSession playerSession = httpServletRequest.getSession();
playerSession.setAttribute("objectname", obj);

And on the other side:
HttpSession playerSession = httpServletRequest.getSession();
Object obj = playerSession.getAttribute("objectname");

If Jetty offers the setAttribute() of the basic servlet but not the
getAttribute() then I'm sure there's a good reason for it ...

thanks for the reply. I'm looking at invoking an object at the top of the
server app and passing it down to the servlet level though. That'll work ok
for session but i want a permanent object I can control from the top.
