Re: NPE with getContext() in a jsp

[Chris Cheshire]

I fixed my own problem. The call was moved from the <%! %> scope to the 
<% %> scope, so that it made it inside the jsp service() method and it 
was able to resolve the context.

Hi,

Using tomcat 4.0.24, I have some <context-param>s defined in my web.xml.

In my servlets, I am able to access these values with

getServletContext().getInitParameter("some name")

However, if I try and do the same from a jsp page in this web 
application I get the following NPE

java.lang.NullPointerException
       at 
javax.servlet.GenericServlet.getServletContext(GenericServlet.java:204)
       at org.apache.jsp.main_jsp.getIntContextParam(main_jsp.java:45)
       at org.apache.jsp.main_jsp.<init>(main_jsp.java:73)
.......

It appears getServletContext() is the culprit. How do I retrieve the 
<context-param>s from my jsp?

Thanks

Chris
