    web.xml only. If you use any framework, you need to have the framework specific files.

    I don't think you can access another web application's servlet context, because ServletConfig.getServletContext() method will return the current web applications context only.

    Actually, you can access another ServletContext, by using the getContext() method of the current Servlet Context, and the context path of the other web application:

    String other_context_path = ...
    ServletContext thisContext = getServletContext();
    ServletContext otherContext = thisContext.getContext(other_context_path);
