I totally accept it is not preferable to have a web-app read config content from the WebServer Container - I just wondered for a particular app I have inherited for support/maintenance it was possible. I thought it was not - and I thank you for verifying this fact.
My main reason for asking is that I wanted some URL information in init() methods - and the servlet api allows you only to access URL info via the Request class. Thanks - for your response.

What exactly do you want your app to do? In general, all information a webapp should need is available through the Servlet API. Perhaps you could elaborate further on your app's needs?
