pro_jsp thread: How to pass web.xml parameter from a JSP to a Bean


Message #1 by "Bachler, Elisabeth (Elisabeth)" <ebachler@l...> on Wed, 18 Jul 2001 12:09:33 +0200
Hello there,

I have a jsp file . I need to pass a parameter read in the web.xml to a
bean.
I can't seem to manage to make it work..... I always get : "attribute
ConfigFile has no value. 
Could you help me please ?
Thanks
Elisabeth

I have :

 file.jsp

<jsp:useBean id="myBean" class="MyBean" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="conn" property="configFile"
    value="{<%= config.getInitParameter("ConfigFile")}" %> />     
The problem I am having is that I don't know how to update the Tomcat
web.xml and the Application web.xml

I saw in the Tomcat web.xml that I had to uncomment a few lines but I am not
sure  of what I should enter  as param-name and param-value! 

<!-- uncomment the following to use Jikes for JSP compilation

        <init-param>
            <param-name>ConfigFile</param-name>
            <param-value>/opt/tomcat/etc/config</param-value>
        </init-param>

-->       

Application web.xml

Do I need to put something here as well ?
