Right, CFSERVLET just sends a JRun-proxy-protocol request to JRun. You have
no control over the servlet engine. The params set in a CFSERVLET are
request parameters and nothing more. CF is in essence a Web client to JRun,
the only difference being that CF knows the direct protocol to talk directly
to JRun and bypass HTTP. But you can also just do a CFHTTP call to JRun and
achieve similar results as CFSERVLET.
To affect init params in a servlet, you must get into the servlet engine and
set them either via the JMC or by editing the web.xml for the Web
application in which your servlet resides. Are you using JRun 2.3.3 or JRun
3.0? Do your servlet aliases work when not going through CFSERVLET, such as
when doing just a regular HTTP request?
