Does ServletContext get updated during the request

Does ServletContext get updated during the request. for example I have this code:

public void action(@Context ServletContext context) {
  Thread.sleep(5000);
  Object object = context.getAttribute("data");
}

will object point to the data stored in the attribute when the function action got called, or the the data stored 5 seconds later, when getAttribute is called?

According to the documentation:

[...] There is one context per "web application" per Java Virtual Machine. [...]

So the servlet context is some kind of a global variable. Other parts of the web application can modify it concurrently.
