In web.xml you can use
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>username</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>myusename</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
and you can access this from bean like this..
String username = (String)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/username");
For this you need to import javax.naming.*;
Well why you need to edit the web.xml?? cuz usually database deails will be
changing and you need to upadate the web.xml regularly. You cant expect the
end user to do it. so you need to provide seperate UI for this and read
web.xml from a XML parser ( Sun hasnt provided any methods to edit the
web.xml programatically ) and update it as user interacts with your system
providing the latest details of database.
web.xml is for giving instruction related to deployment not for updating
system properties. So I feel its better to keep these details in a different
file and use them.

Subject: DB Connection in web.xml
Hi
Can anyone tell me how to set up a db connection in the web.xml?
I mean how to set the driver, url, user and pwd as parameters and how to
call
them in the jsp page or servlet.
Is it possible to call the same from a javabean?
Thanks
Deepak
