What is the Difference between a RequestDispatcher object obtained from The Request Object and RequestDispatcher object obtained from ServletContext . If at all there is a difference?
i.e

			

			request.getRequestDispatcher("url").forward(request,response);

and

			

			getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("url").forward(request,response);

There's no difference. They both return the same object.

getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher() allows you to dispatch requests if you don't have access to the HttpServletRequest object, for example if you're in a method you've written which doesn't take the HttpServletRequest object as a parameter.
