erm. can't you just use init parameters in the web.xml: section
SRV.2.3.2 in the servlet 2.3 spec.
If the location is for one servlet use a servlet init param otherwise
use a servlet context init param. In the latter case you can access it
in your servlet by doing (for example):
String value =
I would like to specify the location of a configuration file to tomcat
which indicates the location of parameters used by some of my servlets.
What is the best practice for doing this? Particularly I want to be
able to get access to the location in any of my servlets.
Thanks
