Hi Fei,
Thanks for helping out. Isn't that what I was doing with
this call:
pageContext.getAttribute("dbPool", pageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE);

Hi Jason,
use this:
pageContext.getAttribute(name,
scope)
scope = page, request, session and application. In your
case, application.

Subject: Custom Tag retrieving
ServletContext Objext
Hi Everyone,
This may be a stupid question but I'm just starting to use
custom tags and I'm running into a strange problem. I'm using a DBCP for
a mySQL database and my setup servlet places a handle to the pool in the
ServletContext via the setAttribute() under the name "dbPool."
Now
other servlets can retrieve the pool handle fine and get a connection and do
their business. However my tag, which extends TagSupport can't seem to
find the pool. Initially, I used
getServletContext.getAttribute("dbPool"). Of course, I got a compile
error telling me that there is no such method.
After some reading, it
appeared that what I'm looking for should be available via
the
pageContext.getAttribute("dbPool",pageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE);
However,
I'm still not getting a handle on the DB Pool. I know there's probably
somethings fairly simple I'm missing here, either syntax or concept.
Could someone give me some insight.
Thanks for your time,
Jason
