Hi,
Thanks for the replies, but perhaps I was a bit vague
in my description.
I have written a couple of example servlets which I
placed in the \webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes folder,
and these work ok
The next example that I tried involved setting an
<init-param> parameter in web.xml (for a counter) and
a servlet that would use this value.
(all copied out of a book)
Since I was using the \webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
folder for my servlets, I altered the web.xml in
/ROOT/WEB-INF.
The servlet executed ok, but the variable was not
initialised � I printed it out an it was �null�
i.e. the servlets executing from
\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes can not see the params
specified in ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml.
hmm, why is this?
i can now get the supplied examples to work,.
thanks chris.
