davej 251 Report post Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) If you have several JSP pages or servlets that need the same bit of information, such as a filepath, how do you handle that? I realize globals are generally frowned upon, so what is usually done? Thanks. Edited April 6, 2012 by davej Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davej 251 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 To answer my own question -- it looks like these can go in the web.xml file. Servlets can retrieve constants defined using the <context-param> tag using the call context.getInitParameter(). I don't know if JSP's can also access these items with a scriptlet. There is also a <init-param> tag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
