i see your point, and that makes good sense. in my particular case, i think that the session would still be a better way to go though, all i really need is to have it configure the information once. my real problem is more generic i guess, how do i initialize a listener (or a filter for that matter) with some basic webapp information, like where to log, getting configuration information, etc. until now, i've always just done it via a servlet, but i'd like to use these new things (listeners/filters/etc) properly, but if i can't log or configure them from the server.xml file, then i will have to resort to a servlet. i hate not being able to log information from components. thanks! > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig Longman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 1:56 PM > To: tomcat-user > Subject: Managing a Listener > > > > i have a need for some data that is needed by every page.
