Re: Parameters from context.xml not being picked up.

You're right. That is why I wrote:  'I don't think you can'... 'maybe 
you can'...

I never said impossible ;) ;)

You should be able to do what he's trying to do.  Doing it in web.xml
via context-param as you suggest is the spec-compliant, portable, and
therefore preferred way.  I don't know the cause for the original
poster's problem.

I believe the <Parameter line is wrong.

It should be in the format of

 <context-param>
    <param-name>SyslogConfig</param-name>
    <param-value>/usr/local/etc/rr/sales-syslog.xml</param-value>
    <description>File containing the Syslog configuration for this
webapp</description>
 </context-param>
And this should be in your web.xml... I don't think that you can put
   

the
 

parameters into server.xml in the context... maybe you can, but not
   

that
 

I know about.

Hi,
I am exploring TC 5.0.18 and found that the <Parameter> are not
     

being
 

set to the ServletContext.
Here is my context.xml:
<Context path="/explorer" docBase="explorer" debug="0"
reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="explorer_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Environment name="maxExemptions" type="java.lang.Integer"
     

value="15"/>
 

<Parameter name="country" value="Canada" override="false"/>
</Context>
In my InitServlet.init() method, I call:
ServletConfig conf = ..
ServletContext ctx = conf.getServletContext();
String paramValue = ctx.getInitParameter("country");
paramValue is NULL. Is this a know bug/issue? Or am I not doing
somthing right?
