Pass Servlet Context Parameter to a Spring MVC Controller

Question

I have a context parameter defined in tomcat server config xml for a given webapp. I want to use this value in a spring mvc controller.

How do I achieve this? How do I make the context param visible to the spring controller?

Answer 1

Inject the ServletContext in your @Controller.

@Autowired
private ServletContext context; 

and use it to retrieve the context parameter

context.getInitParameter("param-name")
