>Description:
If you create multiline entries in servlet.properties like so
servlet.Hello.initArgs=\
msg="Hello there", \
who="who are you?"
the init args dont appear to reach the servlet correctly.
Removing the backslashes and creating a long line works.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add the following init method to Hello.java:
public void init(ServletConfig config)
throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
msg = getInitParameter("message");
}
//and declare msg
String msg = null;
Now in servlets.properties (or the appropriate properties file
add
servlet.Hello.initArgs=\
msg="Hello"
Add an appropriate line to method doGet to output the msg
