Well, you're sort of right. The init method only get's called once, but you
won't have a request/response pair to attach that session object to. You
can, however, create private members to hold that information, something
like:
public class Foo extends HttpServlet {
private Properties props;
public Foo () {
props = new Properties();
}
public init (ServletConfig cfg) {
super(cfg);
props.read(new FileInputStream("myconfig.properties"));
}
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res) {
String key;
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(res.getWriter());
out.println("<H1>My Properties</H1>");
out.println("<TABLE BORDER=1>");
out.println(" <TR>");
out.println(" <TH>Key</TH>");
out.println(" <TH>Value</TH>");
out.println(" </TR>");
Enumeration enum = props.propertyNames();
while(enum.hasMoreElements()) {
out.println(" <TR>");
key = (String)enum.nextElement();
out.println(" <TD>" + key + "</TD>");
out.println(" <TD>" + props.getProperty(key) + "</TD>");
out.println(" </TR>");
}
out.println("</TABLE>");
out.close();
}
}
