Let me put the whole thing a bit differently... Does anyone know of a way to get a reference to the Container (or ConfigurationManager or Configuration) from within -
ServletContextListener.contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) Or, maybe I could refactor some stuff and do it within - Servlet.init(ServletConfig config) I was hoping for some way to grab a hold of one of the filters (Prepare or Execute) and yanking the Container out of there, but I can't seem to find a good way to get at it, outside of Struts but within a web-app. -Wes On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 3:15 PM, Wes Wannemacher <w...@wantii.com> wrote: > This isn't a request thread...
