ServletConfig has not been initialized

ubuntupenguinMar 19 2009 — edited Mar 19 2009

I have a download servlet that I am working with (actually BalusC's servlet code that I have modified/broken). When I go to get the mime type of the file that I am sending by :

String contentType = getServletContext().getMimeType(file.getName());

I get this error.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: ServletConfig has not been initialized
I am overriding the init function so that I can pool database connections and load the root location of the downloadable files if that helps any.

Thanks ,
Chem E
