Hi Hans,
What I usually do is to specify an init parameter with the name of a
properties file where I put all the properties that I want (log level,
connection strings, ...). I have a servlet that is always preloaded so I
read this file there, initialise the application-wide objects... etc. I
heard they are trying to include some application-start,
application-end... event handling in next releases of the JSDK spec so
this might be the good place to read and initialize this properties, in
the future. Meanwhile, I use the pre-loaded servlet approach but you
have to be careful with it, because the servlet engine might decide to
unload it and load it again.
I hope this helps,
Dan
