Hi,   I just added a new jsp  (/home/seethend/public_html/dbtest.jsp)  file to test database connection and tried to get its Driver, URL, user, pass from  /home/seethend/public_html/WEB-INF/web.xml  file using context-param but my jsp file cannot access web.xml. Now, when I enter those values directly into jsp file it works perfectly. So definitely there a problem accessing web.xml file. please help..!!
