Rod Coffin commented on MNG-635:
--------------------------------

Agreed that the getServletContext method is the way to go if you're running in 
container, but this is not the case during unit testing.

But I found a way to decouple my unit test from the web.xml altogether (by 
using the registerServlet method on the ServletRunner class of HttpUnit for 
anyone who happens to stumble upon this) so I would be ok with you closing 
this.  I do think it is unfortunate though that the web.xml isn't available 
during the test phase.  The integration-test phase is a good alternative though.

Thank you for talking through this with me...I appreciate it.
