We are trying to run EntireX under Websphere on the z/OS mainframe.  
In WEB.XML the definition of the XML-INIT.XML can be set.  
We want this to be done by a websphere variable like :  
‹init-param›  
‹param-name›exx-xml-init‹/param-name›  
‹param-value›${EXXINIT}‹/param-value›  
‹/init-param›  
This seems not to work. The reason why we want to do this is that we then can use the same EAR file for all environments.  
Now i have to make one EAR file for each environment.  
Is there a way to use the variables in WEB.XML or is there another way ?
