Hi, I want to access the Context parameter set by the web.xml from a java bean or simple java class. For example, If I have database connection details in my web.xml and I want to get these in a Java Bean of a class which will pick up the values and create a Connection object and return to the guy calling it, either JSP or servlet.
I have a idea of using InitialContext class. But I doubt it works for Context parameter defined in the web.xml. It worked if I use like this for DataSource object which is created in my application server. Context ctx = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("OMSDataSource"); return ds.DatabaseConnection.getConnection(); So how can I access a parameter like this.. <context-param> <param-name>Webmaster</param-name> <param-value>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</param-value> </context-param> Cheers.
