Robert, I think your second option is the best route. I have used MessageContext to get a hold of my servlet's context and it works dandy.

Unfortunately, I'm the "contractor" on the project and the "employees" are using the web.xml file with different configurations to process the same code thru their Testing, QA, Staging and Production environments. They have *lots* of code already written that reads info via the getInitParameter() call - so mine needs to match. THANKS for the thought though :) Bob On Tue, 2005-02-15 at 15:55, Elaine Nance wrote: > It is easy to use a Whatever.properties file.
