Hello Milt! ME> Another possibility is to define the param (in web.xml) as a ME> comma-separated value (csv) and parse it when you get it. For ME> example:
ME> <init-param> ME> <param-name>team</param-name> ME> <param-value>GoodGuys,Enemy</param-value> ME> </init-param> ME> Then: ME> ... ME> String teamNameCSV = config.getInitParameter("appName"); ME> String[] teamNames = StringUtils.splitCSV(teamNameCSV); ME> ... ME> (StringUtils is my own class; it contains mostly static functions, ME> including ones to do this parsing.) A common approach is to use java.util.StringTokenizer for this purpose. ME> Note: I haven't actually tried this, I assume there are no gotchas, ME> like that commas aren't allowed in param values. No gotchas, take my word :-) -- Best regards, Anton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
