Reading the web.xml file from a JSP...

[Gabriel Fox]

Hello guys, how do i read an init parameter in a web.xml from a JSP page . All ideas are welcome.
I know to do it from a servlet :
getServletContext().getInitParameter("paramName");
All idea are welcomed....

You can use the same way as
getServletContext().getInitParameter("paramName") after all JSPs are converted to servlets.
or more aptly you can use
application.getInitParameter( "parameterName" );

Thanks, i was just trying to over complicate the solution.

hi,
define the init param in web.xml(in approot/WEB-INF) as
<context-param>
<param-name>CompanyName</param-name>
<param-value>Temasek Poly</param-value>
</context-param>
access using String value = getServletContext().getInitParameter("CompanyName");
