[Java] Common init params in app web.xml

[Sandip Bhattacharya <sandipb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

1. Is it possible in some way to have common init-params in the web.xml file in a particular web-app. I am speaking in the  context of Tomcat. From what I read in the DTD, there is no common Init-params, only servlet specific.

2. Also, when a web-app is under heavy development, the web.xml file keeps on changing.I know, one should plan in advance, but sometimes you can't help it. In such case is it possible for getting Tomcat to reread the web-app without being restarted?

3. Has anyone tried the servlet engine of Enhydra? How does it compare vis-a-vis Tomcat?

Ambar???
