hi,
I had the same problem. I overcame it by giving something like
getServletContext("context_name").getInitParameter().Please check the exact
syntax from the servlet api
Now I am using a static class to hold all the initial values in a hashtable.
In the static initializer, I am populating
the hashtable with values from a database.
regards

Subject: RE: Defining an init parameter for all servlets
I tried to use the <context-param> tag in web.xml:
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>foo</param-name>
<param-value>bar</param-value>
</context-param>
<web-app>
getInitParameter("foo") returns null
Tomcat version: 3.2.1 for Win32

[Kitching Simon] Yep!
To set a parameter accessable by all servlets
*in a web application*, see "context-param" tag
(or is it config-param?) in the sun servlet specification...
