The context is a container like a session, only that it's valid for the
lifetime of the tomcat process and is accessible by all webpages.
In JSP you refer to it as the "application"
You could say in your Servlet:
-----------------------------------------
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
ServletContext context = null;
public void init (ServletConfig config) {
context = config.getServletContext();
}
public void doPost (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) {
String parameter = (String) context.getAttribute("parameter_name");
if (parameter==null) {
parameter = "Some standard value for the parameter"
context.setAttribute("parameter_name", parameter);
}
}
}
-----------------------------------------
Now, in your JSP, you should be able to access the parameter as a bean with
scope = "application"
Hope there are no typos, and it helps, this could be one way to solve your
problem.
