This method was originally defined to return an `Enumeration` of all the servlet names known to this context. In this version, this method always returns an empty `Enumeration` and remains only to preserve binary compatibility. This method will be permanently removed in a future version of the Java Servlet API.

javax.servlet.ServletContext.getServlets()
As of Java Servlet API 2.0, with no replacement.

This method was originally defined to return an `Enumeration` of all the servlets known to this servlet context.
