I would like to define and initialize some variables in web.xml and the access the values of these variables inside my Java application.
The reason I want to do this is because I would like to be able to change the values of these variables without having to recompile the code.
What is the best practice for doing this? Most of the variables are just strings, maybe some numbers as well. Does the class that accesses the variables have to be a servlet?
Thanks!
Chris
