getServletContext() is available from HttpServlet class that your servlet extended. You can invoke the method as if it were defined in your own servlet class:

ServletContext context = getServletContext();

getServletContext() method is not defined for HttpServletRequest, you need to get it from HttpSession

OR

by simply calling getServletContext() within your Servlet
