Servlet deployment in oc4j

Question

How do you define system property with OC4J. OAS versions allow you to do that. I have servlet 2.1 compatible application that I want to deploy into oc4j without code changes. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Or if you don't want to use property files you can use the ServletContext class which has two methods:
public String ServletContext.getInitParameter(String name)
public Enumaration ServletContext.getInitParameterNames()
The init parameters for a context are specified in the web.xml deployment descriptor for the context using the <context-param> tag. Example:
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>rmihost</param-name>
<param-value>localhost</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>rmiport</param-name>
<param-value>1099</param-value>
</context-param>
</web-app>
To find the context init parameters in a servlet you can do:
try {
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
String rmihost = context.getInitParameters("rmihost");
int rmiport = Integer.parseInt(context.getInitParameter("rmiport"));
} catch (Exception e) {
}
