Hello,
I am trying to pass initArgs for all JSP pages (I am using Weblogic 5.1), but there is no supporting documentation anywhere that shows exactly how I can do it. I figured that I can just add on to the JSP properties section in weblogic.properties file. That does not seem to work. Here is how my properties file looks:

///////////////////////////////
# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
# WEBLOGIC JSP PROPERTIES
# ------------------------------------------------
# Sets up automatic page compilation for JSP. Adjust init args for
# directory locations and uncomment to use.
weblogic.httpd.register.*.jsp=\
       weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet
weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.jsp=\
       pageCheckSeconds=1,\
       compileCommand=D:/java/jdk1.3/bin/javac.exe,\
       keepgenerated=true,\
       workingDir=D:/weblogoc/myserver/classfiles,\
       verbose=true,\
       myParameter=somevalue

//////////////////////////

This does not seem to work. If I call getInitParameter("myParameter") in my JSP files, it returns null.

I am not sure if I am doing the right thing by specifying the initArgs in properties file. Is there any place else I need to do so?

Thanks

What you did was specify the initialization params for weblogic.servlet.JSPServlet. I'm not sure if there's a way to specify params for all JSPs through the weblogic.properties file. If you package your JSPs into a web application, you could use <context-param> tags to specify application initialization params which would be accessible to all JSPs and servlets in your web app. You would access them with:

<%
String myParameterValue = application.getInitParameter("myParameter");
%>

from a JSP file or:

String myParameterValue = getServletContext().getInitParameter("myParameter");

from a servlet.
