GetServletContext returning null in a class that extends HttpServlet

Ther is class that extends HttpServlet and trying to access variables set in different class

The following line of code in the class that extends HttpServlet is throwing a NullPOinterException:

SomeObject x =  getServletContext().getAttribute("x");

Probably, you have overridden the init(ServletConfig cfg) method in your Servlet class and did not call the super.init(cfg) to do the standard setup stuff, resulting in an empty context.
