I would like to set some values in context.xml file and access the same from my Servlet like we access in JNDI:
mail.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
mail.smtp.port=465
Can I do this?
Yes its absolutely possible
<Environment name="testEnvEntry" value="Got It"
type="java.lang.String" override="false"/>
Then access this like:
Object lookedUp = null;
try {
InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
lookedUp = initialContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/testEnvEntry");
} catch (NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
It is similar to how you would add <env-entry>
in your web.xml
.
You can read the official documentation of Environment
