Christopher, Well after I added that entry, I realized I don't have access to any context information/classes since this is just a plain JAX-WS web service and not a web application, so it is not using the JSP/JSR technologies. That is my understanding anyway. So my question is, if that is the case, and I want to use those context-params, how *DO* I access it from my code.
You mention env-entry as well, but I have not used JNDI and am not really sure what it even does. I have read about it and seen lots of applied examples to other app servers/stacks/toolkits. But I can't seem to locate a resource that shows how to use JNDI in a tomcat container web service to access an env-entry in my WEB-INF/web.xml. Any pointers to the right resources or samples would be great, but if they don't exist, some advice is also greatly appreciated.

You could use <env-entry> instead, and then those settings would be available via JNDI (which you can get to from anywhere) instead of through the ServletContext (which you might not have available). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg+yGMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PArpQCglc5w9UVy9XcqOBzjZVeD5pvm /ngAnijcF+3cMHQPsgsW8rXGQyghjxdT =TBt0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
