Hello,
I have some variables and I dont want their values to be set in code.
I want to change their values from an external file like web.xml.
Can I add some variables to web.xml and access to their values from my classes?
Can someone help me how to do this?
Thanks
Server

Hi there,

Yes this is possible. For example you can have the following in the \WEB-INF\web.xml:-



title
Welcome to my page

…

and then in your .JSP file you can use implicit ‘application’ object to retrieve these values, e.g

<% String title = application.getInitParameter(“title”); %>
