reading properties from seam.properties file??

[asookazian]

is it possible to store key value pairs in the seam.properties file? does it always need to be blank?

I need to be able to identify my application so that I can use the name or id to perform a db read to get a list of all menu names applicable for the user with whatever role/access they have.

any recommendations on an easy way to identify my app? thx.

This worked!

in Java class/method:

String myAppName = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getInitParameter("ApplicationName");

in web.xml:

<context-param>
<param-name>ApplicationName</param-name>
<param-value>CoxTemplate</param-value>
</context-param>
