title: Java, NetBean : Access web.xml context parameters from Web Service method?
body: <p>I am new to java so excuse my lame questions:)</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to build a web service in Java  NetBeans 6.1 , but I have some troubles with configuration parameters ( like .settings in .net).</p>
  
  <p>What is the right way to save and access such settings in a java web service.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to read context parameters from web.xml in a web method?</p>
  
  <p>If no what are the alternatives for storing your configuration variables like pathnames ?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
