Dear all,
I have been looking through the archives to find out
how to pass an initialization parameter to my axis
application. One would have thought that since this is such a basic
requirement, there will be an obvious way to achieve it.
As was suggested in some postings in the archives, I made my main
service class to implement ServiceLifecycle and in the init()
method I try to obtain the value of an init-param that I
set in my axis's web.xml. But unfortunately, getInitParameter method
return null. Here are the relevant part of my code:
In my ../webapp/axis/WEB-INF/web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
<display-name>Apache-Axis Servlet</display-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>WebRepositoryPath</param-name>
<param-value>anypath</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
//----------------------------------------
In my main service calss which implements ServiceLifecycle:
public void init(java.lang.Object context) throws ServiceException {
ServletEndpointContext ctx = (ServletEndpointContext)context;
ServletContext servletContext = ctx.getServletContext();
servletContext.log(" The value of init-param: ");
servletContext.log(servletContext.getInitParameter("WebRepositoryPath");
...
}
//----------------------------------------
Is AxisServlet the right servlet to associate the init-param with?.
Thanks
Ali
