You can do something like this in your web.xml <servlet> <servlet-name>somename</servlet-name> <servlet-class>someclass</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>param1</param-name> <param-value>somevalue</param-value> </init-param> </servlet>
You can then call getServletConfig().getInitParameter("param1") from the init method of the somename servlet.

Hello, I have a bean that uses the Properties Object. Currently, on each jsp that calls that bean I have to do a bean.setPropsDir() which sets the directory where to find the properties file. Is there a way in server.xml, web.xml or some other way that I can put in a variable that will define the directory where the properites file exists so that the class can access this? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
