Hans,
Thanks for the mail. My goal with this was to simply access application
configuration
data. Right now, I've already done exactly what you suggest - load this
information using
a startup servlet, and use it from the application context. Nevertheless,
it seems to me
that ideally values stored in the application context should have an
application wide
function, rather than a function in just one servlet/jsp. The servlet
initialization
parameters are quite useful in this way, allowing one to see the direct
connection between
changes to the servlet and its associated parameters - parameters that are
not used elsewhere
by other pages. In the same way, I was hoping to initialize the JSP page.
