Hi,
Sorry, I double checked because I thought context-param added it to the environment as well, but it only adds it to a servlet context. I think the first part is right, however, if you want to do it not from a servlet, you need to define it in web.xml the following way:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>maybeDebug</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>nope</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
The second bit of code remains the same. You should be able to retrieve, anywhere in the application, with the following code:
String paramValue = (String) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/maybeDebug");
