reg:sending init parameters for a servlet

[iam iam <ia...@yahoo.com>]

hi all
  i have servlet which takes all the init parameters
from a specified file

May be i was using the init-param tag in web.xml file 
in a wrong way .

below is the way i  configured my servlet in web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
 trial
  </servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>
            MyServlet
        </servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>foo</param-name>
<param-value>config.ini</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>



any suggestions.

thanks

I...

Your config file is relative. But what is it relative to? The working 
directory of a servlet is the Tomcat /bin directory. Is that where you are 
putting your config file?
