Hi,
my servlets need to access a properties file
(/var/tomcat4/webapps/application/WEB-INF/classes/pro.properties).
I tried to get the parameter to read properly by adding parameter entries
at different location. so now:
My server.xml entry looks like this:
<Context path="/application" docBase="application" debug="9"
reloadable="true">
<Parameter name="CONFIG_FILE"
value="/var/tomcat4/webapps/application/WEB-INF/classes/pro.properties"
override="false"/>
<param-name>CONFIG_FILE</param-name>
<param-value>/var/tomcat4/webapps/application/WEB-INF/classes/pro.properties
</param-value>
</Context>
and the web.xml:
<display-name>/application</display-name>
<description>application</description>
<context-param>
<param-name>CONFIG_FILE</param-name>
<param-value>/var/tomcat4/webapps/application/WEB-INF/classes/pro.properties
</param-value>
</context-param>
This entry gets recognized at tomcat startup:
in catalina.out:
XmlMapper: org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.addParameter( CONFIG_FILE,
/var/tomcat4/webapps/application/WEB-INF/classes/pro.properties)
The call for is in the servlet looks like this:
init(ServletConfig config)
throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
try
{
configPrefs = new Properties();
servletContext = config.getServletContext();
if ( config.getInitParameter("CONFIG_FILE") == null )
throw new ServletException( "No CONFIG_FILE param" );
...
and I am getting the following error message:
javax.servlet.ServletException: No CONFIG_FILE param
Can anybody help me straighten this out?
I am new to this and want to get this application to run. I am just now
learning java and tomcat, so please excuse my probably trivial question.
I am running
Tomcat 4.0.1
jdk1.3.1
on redhat 7.2
Thanks a lot!
Ursula
