Hello
I am trying to understand how servlet configuration and initialization parameters work
and am running into a difficulty in Tomcat
Version 4.1.18 I have the following configuration in in web.xml file -
<servlet>
<servlet-name>StarChartServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>starchart.StarChartServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>starChartWorkingDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>C:\temp\</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
In the servlets init method, I have the following code:
try {
starChartWorkingDirectory =
getServletConfig().getInitParameter("starChartWorkingDirectory");
} catch (java.lang.Exception ie) {
System.out.println("Init Exception = " + ie.toString());
}
and I am getting a null pointer exception thrown here... Nothing else appears to be
wrong in the log files and the servlet does
function except for this issue. Any help and guidance would be much appreciated!
Thanks...
Marc...
