The servlet initialization arguments are not passed with each request ...
they are passed to the init() method of your servlet the very first time
it is loaded. To retrieve them, you could do something like this in your
service() or doGet() method:
String message = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("message");
If you override the init() method yourself, be sure to call
super.init(config) so that the base class stuff gets initialized as well.
It sounds like you might also want to review a tutorial on how servlets
work. A good place to go is the Java Language Tutorial on JavaSoft's web
site (www.javasoft.com), which includes a very nice trail on using
servlets.
