There is indeed a standard constant and a standard name for the context-initialization parameter, but the data is not necessarily saved in a particular scope with a particular name. (If I remember correctly, this was designed to give greater flexibility to implementations and future versions of JSTL.) To retrieve the data, you'll want to use the Config class itself, which abstracts the variables for programmers. I can't think of any way to retrieve the information in a standard fashion using just the 'el' tags. -- Shawn Bayern "JSTL in Action" http://www.jstlbook.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
