get parameter values from web.xml inside of a bean

[Eqbal Z]

Is there a way for me to get parameter values from web.xml file inside
of a bean?
I have parameters like the following in my web.xml file:
<context-param>
<param-name>userName</param-name>
<param-value>xxxx</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>password</param-name>
<param-value>yyyy</param-value>
</context-param>

How do I get these values inside of a bean thats used in a JSP page. I
am using WAS 4.0.5 app server (its servlet 2.2 specs). I do not want
to use sessions.

Context parameters are accessed via a ServletContext. You have to have one
of those to get the parameters.

As long as your bean is running within the Faces life cycle, you can access a web.xml context parameter like this:

public ExampleBean()
{
String param = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
.getInitParameter("context parameter name");
}
