Can't read enviroment entries defined in applications web.xml

           Summary: Can't read enviroment entries defined in applications
                    web.xml
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: pkor@eurocom.gr


I want to define an enviroment entry in my web app's web.xml.
As stated in the documentation (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-
doc/config/context.html#Environment%20Entries) i can eiher do it in my 
applications web.xml or in the server.xml.
I choose to do it in my application's web.xml with the above xml fragment:

<env-entry>
      <env-entry-name>foo/Name</env-entry-name>
      <env-entry-value>xxx</env-entry-value>
      <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>

and i saw that using the above code i couldn't retrieve the value.

Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context)initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
String temp = (String)envCtx.lookup("foo/Name");

then using the above xml fragment in my server.xml solved it.
<Environment name="foo/Name" type="java.lang.String" value="xxx"/>

What should i do to retrieve the value from the web.xml without defining it to 
server.xml?
