Hi Rancher,
Cud anybody tell me where i cud put context-param in the deployment descriptor,
i tried to put inside servlet tag but it does not work like this
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ServletDemo</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servletDemo</servlet-class>
<context-param>
<param-name>MyParam</param-name>
<param-value>MyParamValue</param-value>
and i tried to put under web-app also , it does not work out like this
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>MyParam</param-name>
<param-value>MyParamValue</param-value>
</context-param>
<web-app>
. so cud u tell what is location to put the contxt-param .and i am getting the error on cmd prompt saying we cud not put the context param in servlet or some times server does not start.so what cud be problem
thanks in advance

The context-param element declares servlet context initialization parameters for a Web Application. So it should be part of <web-app> </web-app>. You set each context-param within a single context-param element, using <param-name> and <param-value> elements. You can access these parameters in your code using the javax.servlet.ServletContext.getInitParameter() and javax.servlet.ServletContext.getInitParameterNames() methods.
I tried it and it works beautifully with Weblogic Server.
Send me your code if it still does not work.
