---------------------------------------------------------------- BEFORE YOU POST, search the faq at <http://java.apache.org/faq/> WHEN YOU POST, include all relevant version numbers, log files, and configuration files. Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Let me start by saying that I read the FAQ (and got some ideas from it). I am using Apache 1.3.12 and ApacheJServ 1.1.2 and SUN JVM v1.2.2 on Win NT Workstation 4 Service Pack 5. JServ is in autostart mode. I have a system environment variable that I am trying to read inside the servlet: UPLOAD_DIR (user environment variable). I previously attempted to use System.getenv("UPLOAD_DIR") -- to no avail because it is no longer supported -- and System.getProperty("UPLOAD_DIR") -- which works if the value is specified in jserv.properties as follows: wrapper.bin.parameters=-DUPLOAD_DIR=%UPLOAD_DIR% -- the problem here is that it sends the text "%UPLOAD_DIR%" rather than the value. Instead, I am now trying to use the following in jserv.properties: wrapper.env.copy=UPLOAD_DIR The code that is trying to get this value is in the init( ) method of ServletBase.java (which extends HttpServlet). From reading the FAQ, it seems that I should be using the getAttribute( ) method -- I am using it as a method within ServletContext. I always get a null return value. I have confirmed that the environment variable exists under NT and I have restarted Apache & JServ with each test. Here's the code (please help -- note Logger.log simply writes to the servlet log): Logger.log("UPLOAD_DIR is: " + (String)servletContext.getAttribute("org.apache.jserv.UPLOAD_DIR")); This always produces NULL. This also produces NULL: Logger.log("UPLOAD_DIR is: " + (String)servletContext.getAttribute("UPLOAD_DIR")); I have also tried this code (as stolen from the FAQ): Object obj = servletContext.getAttribute("org.apache.jserv.attribute_names"); ... and then treated it like an enumeration, but it is also always null. *Please* help me figure out this issue. Your input is most appreciated.
