How can I read context parameter/web.xml values in a non-servlet java file?

Question

I\'ve got a regular java file that I use to update and query a mysql database but I need to take configurable options in that file (like host name, password, etc) and put it

Answer 1

You could use context-parameters in your web.xml and a javax.servlet.ServletContextListener to populate some static fields.

In you normal java class you read this this static fields.

...

    Prameter
    myParam
    123456790

...

You can access this context parameter with ServletContext.getInitParameter
