: I just wanted to make sure that JNDI was really the right way to go... : Using those Context xml files in Catalina/localhost would also work : with init-params AFAIK.
Aren't init-params and context-params required to be specified in the web.xml? : Is r/o JINDI really required by the servlet spec? I just looked at : the 2.4 servlet spec, and it's not clear to me. See "encouraged, but : not required" near the bottom. My reading of that (and the other refrences for env-entry in the PDF of the spec i just searched) is that supporting env-entry is only required for the J2EE 1.4 spec ... not servlet 2.4. But frankly, i don't know if that's that big a deal .. we can still say SOlr works with any servlet 2.4 container -- there are just some features that require extended servlet container features ... not that much worse then index snapshooting requiring hard links, and replication requiring rsync. -Hoss
