Re: [OT] how do i get context-param

I had the same feeling that servlet spec. should be more specific when I just started working with J2EE:) But, my experience tells me that a specification tells you "What" you need to have in a servlet container and not "How" to implement a servlet container. If I want to learn servlet programmin

Good point. I guess the J2EE tutorial would be the place for stuff like that (I was trying to only speak of "official" documentation). Erik Craig McClanahan wrote: It's important to remember that the Servlet Specification target audience isn't application developers -- it's people that are implem
