Ok, I've searched through the forum but haven't been able to find an answer that works for me.
I'm trying to see if JBoss/Tomcat can read the standard Tomcat external < Context > file.
So far I haven't had any success. This is what I'm trying. I define a simple parameter in the < Context > file:
< Parameter name="mikeycontext" value="mikeycontext" / >
I then have a simple test.jsp page trying to get the value:
< %= pageContext.getServletContext().getInitParameter("mikeycontext") % >
So far whatever I do I always get null. From this I'm concluding the < Context > file is not being read.
I have the webapp in an ear and the application.xml file defines the module:
< module >
< web >
< web-uri >jgallery.war< /web-uri >
< context-root >/jgallery< /context-root >
< /web >
< /module >
Now I've tried putting the < Context > file in many different places:
WEB-INF/context.xml
WEB-INF/jgallery.xml
META-INF/context.xml
META-INF/jgallery.xml
and no matter what I do the result is the same. The test.jsp page alwasy returns null. Can someone help me out?
