asked on Reading an XML file in WEB-INF with Bean
Hi there experts,
i have a short question:
I'm currently writing my own Web Application with Java and this Webapplication has its own configuration xml files. These files are under the WEB-INF folder, so only the Servlet or JSP can access it.
Now i want to write a Java Bean that reads this config-files and provides some getter functions...
The reason, why i want to write a bean is, because this config files should be accessed by many servlets and some JSPs.
How can i access the config files with a java bean?
and what would be the best way to parse the XMLs?
thx for your help and best regards!

Hi and thx for your comment!
As i understand JSTL is only for JSP pages, isn't it?
... and i can't use it within a Java Bean?
Or is my understanding of a Java Bean wrong?
What i want to do is, that my Servlets and JSPs create an Object from my "ApplicationConfig" class which parses the XML and has some getter functions like "String[] getAllEmployeeNames()". So if i change the XML file one day, i just have to re-write my ApplicationConfig class.
Please correct me if my idea is not a good one, because i'm very new to all this :)

You're absolutely awesome!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I just have a very small question:
What if i put the employee.xml directly under the WEB-INF folder? Or in my case /WEB-INF/configs/employee.
