I had the same issue.. I cant find anything in the APIs that offer support for multiple values for the same param in the init params methods. I had to use a second XML file and use a XSL file to load it in as an array. The approach of using an XSL is so that I can use the array in javascript only. If you want to be able to use the values in Server side code, you have to write a simple XML parser. -Tim

To do this I would like to move the information that is stored in an array to the applications web.xml file and loaded in the init method rather than hard coding the creation of the array. The web.xml file would look like this: <init-param> <param-name>team</param-name> <param-value>GoodGuys</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>team</param-name> <param-value>Enemy</param-value> </init-param> The following is how I usually load the information from the web.xml file. ServletConfig config = getServletConfig(); String teamName = config.getInitParameter("appName"); But do not know how to load the information into an array of String objects. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
