getServletContext() cannot be resolved...

[Ziggi]

Ok,

It's all not that easy... I try to use "getServletContext()" method in my Red5 servlet but I constantly get error:

The method getServletContext() is undefined

I tried to add import from import javax.servlet.Servlet (I found this class in tomcat-6.0.14-servlet-api.jar but that not helped.

Can you please show me exactly how to use getServletContext() method in a custom servlet class?

Thanks ahead !

Actually I am going to read context parameters like this:

String foo = getServletContext().getInitParameter("foo");

Can you help, please?

Dont do like that. Create a bean with property on it that you want to be the variable. then create getter and setter functions in side that bean for that variable.

Hi Rajdeep,

Nope - I am not going to read/write an object property here.
I am going to read data from web.xml like this:

web.xml:

<context-param>
    <param-name>foo</param-name>
    <param-value>bar</param-value>
</context-param>

servlet class:

String foo = getServletContext().getInitParameter("foo"); // will be "bar"

Can you help me please?

There's a good example of how to do this here:

Thank you !!!

I have a problem with your example. What I am trying to do is to read context parameter in remoting not regular HTTP Get/Post requests.

Then I tried:

public class RemoteMethods extends HttpServlet implements IServiceHandlerProvider {

      public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException  {
            super.init(config);
            ServletContext context = getServletContext();
      }

But it seems in this case servlet init method is never invoked...

On the other hand getServletContext() brings invocation failure when used within a pubic method:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null

Any idea how to use that properly?

Simply speaking - how to getServletContext() inside a remoting service handler ???
