JAX-RS/GetinitparameterNames()

Hi there

I am writing a small test program w/JAX-RS in order to familiarize.
The goal is just to display a number of init parameters as set in the web.xml file.

The problem is that I just cannot make a call to GetinitparameterNames(). Probably, this is because I just do not understant the "Context" annotation. Can someone enlight me ?

Thanks in adv.

My test class (cnt1, cnt2 displays as zero) :

package com.tcs;

import java.util.Enumeration;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;

@Path("/config")
public class Params {

private String str1, str2;
private int cnt1 = 0, cnt2 = 0;

public void init(@Context ServletConfig cfg) {
Enumeration e = cfg.getInitParameterNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) cnt1++;
}
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public String displayParams(@Context ServletContext ctxt) {
str2 = ctxt.toString();
Enumeration e = ctxt.getInitParameterNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) cnt2++;
return "<html> " +
"<head><title>" + "GET Params" + "</title></head>" +
"<body>" +
"<h1>" + "Web App parms" + "</h1>" +
"<p> Cfg :" + str1 + "( Parms : " + cnt1 + ")</p>" +
"<p> Ctxt :" + str2 + "( Parms : " + cnt2 + ")</p>" +
"</body>" +
"</html> ";

} // displayParams
}

web.xml :

I'm not sure if it's supposed to work with all methods (like init). Have you tried using an instance variable like this:

@Context ServletConfig conf;

?

Not sure I understand you. If you mean to use ServletConfig at the GET stage, it does not work either.
Thanks anyway

No, I don't mean as part of any method call - I mean an instance variable, like I wrote it.

Looking at the web.xml, it doesn't contain context parameters, so it's not surprising that cnt2 is 0.

As to using ServletConfig, it should be used to supply parameters to the JAX-RS engine, not to your code, so I would advise against using that in any case.
