Thank you Bruno for these informations.
I tried to put init parameters in the web.xml like this :
<init-param>
<param-name>srvImpDirName</param-name>
<param-value>webapps/cocoon/samples/srvimp/content/xml/</param-value>
</init-param>
...and to read it in Action like this :
dirName =
ObjectModelHelper.getContext(objectModel).getInitParameter("srvImpDirName");
but my result is 'null'. An idea ?
