Folks, I'm using Tomcat 4.01, and I'm seeing behavior that makes me wonder if it's part of the servlet spec.
In a method called by my servlet.init(ServletConfig) method, I'm calling "config.getInitParameter" to successfully get a parameter from my web.xml file. However, if at the same point in the code I call getServletContext().getInitParameter to get the same parameter, it returns null. The javadocs on the two methods imply that ServletConfig.getInitParameter would be implemented as getServletContext().getInitParameter() (they don't state this explicitly, but the see-also implies it). Am I misunderstanding what getServletContext().getInitParameter() should do? Will that call not work until after I return from my init() method back to the container (e.g. in doGet or doPut)? Any pointers would be appreciated, Donnie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
