<context-param>的作用:

web.xml的配置中<context-param>配置作用

1. 启动一个WEB项目的时候,容器(如:Tomcat)会去读它的配置文件web.xml.读两个节点: <listener></listener> 和 <context-param></context-param>



2.紧接着,容器创建一个ServletContext(上下文),这个WEB项目所有部分都将共享这个上下文.



3.容器将<context-param></context-param>转化为键值对,并交给ServletContext.



4.容器创建<listener></listener>中的类实例,即创建监听.



5.在监听中会有contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent args)初始化方法,在这个方法中获得ServletContext = ServletContextEvent.getServletContext();

context-param的值 = ServletContext.getInitParameter("context-param的键");



6.得到这个context-param的值之后,你就可以做一些操作了.注意,这个时候你的WEB项目还没有完全启动完成.这个动作会比所有的Servlet都要早.

换句话说,这个时候,你对<context-param>中的键值做的操作,将在你的WEB项目完全启动之前被执行.



7.举例.你可能想在项目启动之前就打开数据库.

那么这里就可以在<context-param>中设置数据库的连接方式,在监听类中初始化数据库的连接.



8.这个监听是自己写的一个类,除了初始化方法,它还有销毁方法.用于关闭应用前释放资源.比如说数据库连接的关闭.



如:

<!-- 加载spring的配置文件 -->

<context-param>

    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

    <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml,/WEB-INF/act ion-servlet.xml,/WEB-



INF/jason-servlet.xml</param-value>

</context-param>

<listener>

    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>

</listener>



又如: --->自定义context-param,且自定义listener来获取这些信息



<context-param>

    <param-name>urlrewrite</param-name>

    <param-value>false</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

    <param-name>cluster</param-name>

    <param-value>false</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

    <param-name>servletmapping</param-name>

    <param-value>*.bbscs</param-value>

</context-param>

<context-param>

    <param-name>poststoragemode</param-name>

    <param-value>1</param-value>

</context-param>

<listener>

    <listener-class>com.laoer.bbscs.web.servlet.SysListener</listener-class>

</listener>



public class SysListener extends HttpServlet implements ServletContextListener {



private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(SysListener.class);



public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {



   //用于在容器关闭时,操作

}



//用于在容器开启时,操作



public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {

   String rootpath = sce.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
   System.out.println("-------------rootPath:"+rootpath);



   if (rootpath != null) {

    rootpath = rootpath.replaceAll(" \\\\", "/");

   } else {

    rootpath = "/";

   }

   if (!rootpath.endsWith("/")) {

    rootpath = rootpath + "/";

   }

   Constant.ROOTPATH = rootpath;

   logger.info("Application Run Path:" + rootpath);

   String urlrewrtie = sce.getServletContext().getInitParameter("urlrewrite");

   boolean burlrewrtie = false;

   if (urlrewrtie != null) {

    burlrewrtie = Boolean.parseBoolean(urlrewrtie);

   }

   Constant.USE_URL_REWRITE = burlrewrtie;

   logger.info("Use Urlrewrite:" + burlrewrtie);

   其它略之....



   }



}

   /*最终输出

context-param和init-param区别

web.xml里面可以定义两种参数:

(1)application范围内的参数,存放在servletcontext中,在web.xml中配置如下:
<context-param>
           <param-name>context/param</param-name>
           <param-value>avalible during application</param-value>
</context-param>



(2)servlet范围内的参数,只能在servlet的init()方法中取得,在web.xml中配置如下:

<servlet>

    <servlet-name>MainServlet</servlet-name>

    <servlet-class>com.wes.controller.MainServlet</servlet-class>

    <init-param>

       <param-name>param1</param-name>

       <param-value>avalible in servlet init()</param-value>

    </init-param>

    <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>

</servlet>



在servlet中可以通过代码分别取用:

package com.wes.controller;



imp ort javax.servlet.ServletException;

imp ort javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;



public class MainServlet extends HttpServlet ...{



    public MainServlet() ...{

        super();

     }

    public void init() throws ServletException ...{

         System.out.println("下面的两个参数param1是在servlet中存放的");

         System.out.println(this.getInitParameter("param1"));

         System.out.println("下面的参数是存放在servletcontext中的");

        System.out.println(getServletContext().getInitParameter("context/param"));

      }

}



第一种参数在servlet里面可以通过getServletContext().getInitParameter("context/param")得到

第二种参数只能在servlet的init()方法中通过this.getInitParameter("param1")取得.
