Neither web.xml now context.xml will set system properties. You /can/ have either of these files stick things into the JNDI context, though. See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/globalresources.html#Environment Entries for more information. If you /need/ to use system properties, you could write a ServletContextListener to peek into JNDI and copy those values into he system properties of the JVM. Just remember that system properties are JVM-global, whereas JNDI resources are private to the application. If you deploy two applications with different settings within the same JVM, they will interfere with each other. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHOzum9CaO5/Lv0PARAsg8AJ4iWd60tShzFj7VShmzQRLe6z5y/ACgoURm uoCEuQN83X9e+vQIyL4qfAA= =Sc1s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
