The <context-param> element, as you note, sets a context init parameter, not a context attribute. Context attributes must be set programatically, not from a web.xml file. A convenient way to set things up is to create a ServletContextListener (assumes you're running Tomcat 4 or later) and configure it in a <listener> element in web.xml. The contextInitialized() method will be called when your web application is first started, and that is a perfect place to set up whatever context attributes you need. > > > See sample chapter on www.moreservlets.com for more info. > > Actually, I bought the book :) Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
