Re[2]: query unique identifier of a webapp from init()?...

[Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>]

Hello Yoav,

Yeah, I could simply  use another init property, but I was trying to
avoid excessive use of init-param's.  I'll probably just add an
init-param, though because tempdir isn't all that appealing and I
can't think of any other way.

Thanks,

Jake
