Subject: Re: Using getImplementationVersion() to read MANIFEST.MF
I ended up doing something quite like this (though using
java.util.jar.Manifest)
Watch out for that - it won't work unless the app is deployed as
a .war
on a device with a real file system. The getResourceAsStream()
mechanism should work in all environments.
Oh, I just meant I used java.util.jar.Manifest to parse the manifest
instead of java.util.Properties. I still used
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream() to obtain it. Is that safe, or
does it also suffer from that caveat?
<jsp:setProperty name="version" property="servletContext" value="$
{pageContext.servletContext}"/>
Is this the idiomatic way for a non-servlet object to obtain a
ServletContext, or am I overlooking something easier or more
appropriate?
Sounds o.k. to me, but others with more bean experience may have
alternatives.
I guess the question is this: is there another way for a non-servlet
class instantiated within a servlet container to obtain a
ServletContext object? (In several days of Googling, I've seen the
question asked a few times, but not (that I recall) answered.)
