Application Context availability

[harpritt]

Hiya gents and ladies.... (i wish there were more female programmers)

My Seam app is coming along really really well... im extreamly chuffed with it.... i actually feel a bit guilty for having had so much fun using SEAM.....

anyway, im writting a servet that gets initialized durring application start to act as a global notifier of resource availability.

what i want it to do is simply check a resource e.g. my cvs server and it to add a parameter to the application context indicating its status.

i can then check the application context from anywhere in my app for resource status.

im having a shed load of trouble trying to get a hold of the Application context

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {

// Add parameter to Application context ... ARGGHHH!

}

.. ive got myself very confused... to the point where i cant even remember what the difference between the application scope and context are... google aint helping....


Anyway .... all help as allways is greatly apprieciated.

Lifecycle.mockApplication();
 try
 {
 // code that accesses application context goes here
 }
 finally
 {
 Lifecycle.unmockApplication();
 }

Dude

Thank you very much indeed..... you are super!... Super Dan super!..without his chin!

i can believe i was being so thick.....

I was overriding the init(config) and not calling super.... soooooo getServeltContext was allways going to be null...
