I seem to be having an issue :) I tried the code you provided and did this.
I am getting a null pointer when I ask for service. Also if I do server.findServices() to get a list of all of them I get nothing back. This is from withing a Servlet to test getting these objects. //See if we can get the container object Server server = ServerFactory.getServer(); Service service = server.findService("Catalina"); //Next line gets NULL Pointer, because service is not found Engine engine = (Engine) service.getContainer(); Host host = (Host) engine.findChild(engine.getDefaultHost()); Container[] containers = host.findChildren(); for (int i = 0; i < containers.length; i++) { Container container = containers[i]; out.println("<!-- Found Container::"+container.getName()); } On Thu, 14 Oct 2004 11:14:31 -0400, Shapira, Yoav <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > I've posted this a number of times in the past on the list, so you can > STFA.
