Not really.  If the question is "how do I retrieve the stuff I put in 
servletcontext?", the answer is getServletContext().getAttribute( 
attributeName ).
Then just cast the result to the type it's supposed to be (String, 
Array, Hashtable, etc., ...) since getAttribute() returns type Object 
for everything.
