thanks for responding, I will try to be clearer:
> Sorry, I don't understand the question. What is "this_config"
it is an uri or an InputStream (or others, I have tried several)
Document doc = docbuilder.parse(this_config);
-- but it an XML document that describes the particular site in it's
context
> "context" in the code above
sorry. context is:
// in the servlet's init (actually a startup servlet)
ServletContext context = getServletConfig().getServletContext();

I want to be able to put the parsed doc in a context attribute to access it
in other parts of this (or a master) webapp:
context.setAttribute("boo2", doc);
I know I have the doc in the class that sets the attribute because I can
perform XPath expressions on it using the XPathAPI. But I can't put doc
into the attribute - it always turns up null. I am pretty sure I won't end
up doing this, but I just wanted to see if the performance is acceptable for
the convenience the DOM offers.
