Beginner's question

Hi,

I'm new to axis and web services. I have a question that I think should be
easy to answer.

How can I access a configuration file from a web service? Do they have a
context? something similar to what is available to servlets?

I don't want to hardcode configuration parameters such as which database or
LDAP server to connect to. What's the "web service" way of doing this?

Thanks,
	Chris

The J2EE (and webservice) way to look up environment-specific info is to 
use JNDI. These links may help you:
