The “context-param” tag is define in “web.xml” file and it provides parameters to the entire web application.
For example, store administrator’s email address in “context-param” parameter to send errors notification from our web application.
web.xml
<context-param> <param-name>AdministratorEmail</param-name> <param-value>mkyong2002@yahoo.com</param-value> </context-param>
We can get the above “AdministratorEmail” context-param value with the following java code.
String email= getServletContext().getInitParameter("AdministratorEmail");
Result
mkyong2002@yahoo.com
