Well, this entirely depends on you. You can, say, create database connection object of type java.sql.Connection via event listeners mechanism and set it on servlet context via setAttribute() method and name it "myDbConnection". Then in your servlet you can get it from servlet context and cast it to java.sql.Connection:
java.sql.Connection myConn = (java.sql.Connection) getServletContext().getAttribute("myDbConnection"); -- Regards, Artashes Hovasapyan From: java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-passion@googlegroups.com [mailto:java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-pass...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of sospeter oluoch Sent: 09 February 2009 13:30 To: java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-passion@googlegroups.com Subject: [java ee programming] getAttribute method When I use the getAttribute method in servlets, what should i pass as my string parameter and how exactly do i know that the object being called has the parameter specified? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java EE (J2EE) Programming with Passion!" group.
