Bug in cocoon.context.getInitParameter?

[Ugo Cei <u....@cbim.it>]

I have this in my web.xml:

     <init-param>
       <param-name>index-directory</param-name>
       <param-value>/tmp/lucene</param-value>
     </init-param>

and this in my flowscript:

print("Index dir = " +
   cocoon.context.getInitParameter("index-directory"));

and it prints:

Index dir = null

Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious?

	TIA,

		Ugo

Huh? So the init-params for the servlet in web.xml are different from 
the init-params in the context? Where do the context ones come from?

Ah, I see. So how do you access a servlet parameter from flowscript or, 
more generally, what would be the best way to access runtime 
configuration parameters, without implementing a Configurable or 
Parametrizable Avalon component?

Yep: I guess you added <init-param> to the Cocoon *servlet* and not to 
the *context* ;-)
