ServletContext access

[Viktors Krebss <lo...@delfi.lv>]

Hello,

Does anyone know how can I access servlet init parameters form another
servlet ?
I mean I can access servlet context (<context-param> ) using
getServletContext().getContext("/someservlet")
but what I need is to get into <servlet>
...<init-param>param-I-need-to-know</ .
Is it possible at all ?
Thanks for you help.

Regards,

There's nothing in the servlet API that lets you access this.

Of course, you could parse the /WEB-INF/web.xml file yourself, but it
seems much easier (to me, at least) to make the shared parameter a context
init param instead.
