Hello everybody, I started to learn servlets few times ago. Everything was working perfectly until I tried to get my <init-param> from my web.xml file. I receive all the time a null value when I ask the value of my parameter: String driver = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("driver").
If I put the parameter in a <context-param>, no problem, it works. String driver = getServletContext().getInitParameter("driver"); Can someone help me. Thanks Kenny Here is my web.xml file: <web-app> <context-param> <param-name>driver</param-name> <param-value>12345</param-value> </context-param> <servlet> <servlet-name>techSupport</servlet-name> <servlet-class>techSupportServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>driver</param-name> <param-value>54321</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>techSupport</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/techSupport</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
