vasu and i figured it out.
I put the init params into the web.xml:
<init-param>
<param-name>org.apache.abdera.protocol.server.Provider</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.abdera.example.CustomProvider</param-value>
</init-param>
then i get them from the config and have the manager create the providor:
@Override
protected Provider createProvider() {
return manager.newProvider(getProperties(getServletConfig()));
}
if you leave the init params out, you create a DefaultProvider instead
of your CustomProvider
