Tags and init parameters?

["Mr. Tomcat" <to...@mobile.mp>]

With filter, servlets and listeners, it is possible to provide init
parameters in their config files.  This doesn't seem possible with
tags.  Is this true, or is there a way with Tomcat 4.1 to provide tags
some init parameters?  This seems better than compiling some values into
the tag staticly.  If not, I'll have to either compile them in or put
the init stuff into the servlet context.

Thanks for any tips.

Use context init parameters to provide configuration information to tags.
Tags can access the ServletContext instance by calling
pageContext.getServletContext().

Alternatively, you could use <env-entry> values in web.xml and access them
via JNDI.
