are they in the same webapp? your best best may be to create a singleton which acts as a datastore and both the servlets can access
-rick -----Original Message----- From: Lars Preben S|rsdahl Arnesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 2:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sharing data between servlets I have a few servlets that needs to share some data. For initial testing I used the Resin servlet engine, but now I'm switching to Tomcat. When running the servlets on Resin, I fetched a pointer to the "root context" like this: ServletContext context = getServletContext().getContext("/"); When using Tomcat, the context pointer always is set to null. So, is this the "correct" way to share data between servlets, or is there a more elegant way that works on different servlet engines. Code snippets to illustrate how the best way to share data between servlets are appreciated. :) -- Lars Preben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
