Re: values in server.xml -Answered, for the archives

[Josh G <jo...@gfunk007.com>]

In server.xml, under <DefaultContext>:

    <Environment name="foo" type="java.lang.String" value="bar"/>

And in web.xml:

    <env-entry>
      <env-entry-name>foo</env-entry-name>
      <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
    </env-entry>

And the code to get it back (include javax.naming.*):

    Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
    Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
    String jndiFoo = (String)envCtx.lookup("foo");

Cheers,
-Josh

Subject: <environment> values in server.xml


Where should I put <environment> values in server.xml? And more importantly, 
how on earth do I retrieve them programmatically? The documentation on this 
sort of stuff is either unbelievably inadequate or incredibly hard to find.

Or c) I'm a dickhead. Either way, I could really use a hand. I'm just trying 
to get a string out of server.xml - not web.xml.

Cheers,
