How early is "on startup" for your purposes? Will it be early enough if
you read them in from a servletContextListener? That's where I pull in
my external properties files, and is executed pretty early in the tomcat
startup sequence. Certainly before anybody can try to log into it.
David,
the point here is : this is unknown, because these parameters are being
read (in some cases) by applications or filters which we did not write
ourselves and do not have the source of.
That is also why they *must* be "in web.xml" as opposed to somewhere
else more practical : because the application/filter manual says that
this is where they should be, and we cannot change that.
So we are looking for something transparent to an application/filter,
without changing the code of that application/filter.
