I might be missing something here, but why not get it inside the servlet
context initialized handler method?
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
System.out.println("[contextInitialized] inside
contextInitialized()");
System.out.println(" +-> context=" + event.getServletContext());
ServletContext context = event.getServletContext();
Enumeration enumeration = context.getInitParameterNames();
while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) enumeration.nextElement();
String value = context.getInitParameter(name);
System.out.println("init param: [" + name + "=" + value + "]");
}
}
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent event) {
System.out.println("[contextDestroyed] inside contextDestroyed()");
System.out.println(" +-> context=" + event.getServletContext());
}
