Hi !

Thanx for all your help but here are some more questions:

Is it important to place the tld there and do I need a META-INF directory
???
I thought I only have to reference it like this:

<%@taglib
	uri="http://snet.barmeier.com/webtaglib/katolib.tld"
	prefix="kato"
%>

Ahh, maybe something is clearer now.
You mean the best thing I can do is to put all my files (classes and tld) in
a
jar-file and put this to WEB-INF/lib folder.

Do I have to put this META-INF folder into this jar file that Arion
mentioned ????

The easiest way to do this is to use context initialization parameters,
rather than servlet initialization parameters.  I don't have the Servlet
2.2 spec in front of me, but it's probably <context-param> or something
like that.

In the servlet, you retrieve such a parameter like this:

    String paramValue =
      getServletContext().getInitParameter("paramName");

global parameters

[Rene Duettra <bu...@gmx.de>]

Hi,
Normally I use web.xml to define parameters for servlets.
Now I need to define some which should apply to all servlets.
I think there is an easier way than defining all parameters
for each servlet in the web.xml ...

Thanks for answers.
