Skip, Your explanation cleared things up a lot. I tried your suggestion to include an attribute to my "java service", so that I will have the request in the context.
<attribute name="request" type="javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" mode="IN" optional="false"/> However, since the form before it does not have any value to be submiited, the service compains about missing the required parameter "request". What value should I submit to the service? Moreover, I found out that any context-param value from web.xml was not included in the context of a "service". They are accessible only if I use a "java event", via its servlet-type HttpServletRequest. However, context-params are accessible from the map "parameters" in the screen widget and form widget. Is there a way to access them in a "service"? Or, what is the best practice to access a predefined variable (such as a context-param) from a "service"? Many thanks for your help.
