How are you instantiating this factory class? Ie When? you should be able to call getServlet().getServletContext() to pass the servlet context to your factory. b- --- On Sun 12/01, Jonathan Holloway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:From: Jonathan Holloway [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 01:13:22 -0000Subject: RE: Obtaining the ActionServlet context from a utility classI'm embedding the attributes themselves in the struts-config file and passing these to a custom struts plugin that I've created. I then embed these attributes in the servlet context on startup of the class (i.e. in the init method). The thing is I have another factory class that needs access to the servlet context and that's the problem I have, getting hold of the action servlet before obtaining the servlet context to retrieve the attributes. I sit possible just to embed the functionality of my factory class in my plugin class and simply call the methods in the plugin class. I didn't think this was the right way hence the creation of a factory class and a plugin class to do the job. I don't want to use the utility in non Struts related classes either, this is purely for my Struts action classes use.

Why not just pass the attribute as a parameter to the method? --- On Sun 12/01, Jonathan Holloway [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:From: Jonathan Holloway [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sun, 1 Dec 2002 19:47:20 -0000Subject: Obtaining the ActionServlet context from a utility classDoes anybody know how to get hold of the action servlet from a utility class so to get an attribute from the servlet context? I'm basically trying to do this from a utility class but don't know how to go about it. Jon. *---------------------------------------------* Jonathan Holloway, Dept.
