Init parameter in context.xml
In lieu of using web.xml, I'm trying to add an init parameter in our
application's context.xml file:
<context path="/appName" ...>
<parameter name="paramName" value="dummyValue"/>
</context>
According to the Tomcat docs, this is equivalent to using the following in
web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>paramName</param-name>
<param-value>dummyValue</param-value>
</context-param>
In my JSP page, I try the following:
<%= getServletContext().getInitParameter("helpAppName") %>
but I get simply get 'null'. If I move the parameter to web.xml, everything
works fine.
Our context.xml file is generated through an Ant script for different
environments, hence my need to put the parameter there instead of web.xml
Any clues appreciated. Running on Tomcat 5.0.28.

You're right, thanks. I was missing the capital 'P' in the <Parameter>
property.
When defining parameters under ResourceParams, it's all lowercase though.

Only a guess.... try
<Context path="/appName" ...>
<Parameter name="paramName" value="dummyValue"/>
</Context>
