In a servlet container compatible with the version 2.2 API (such as Jakarta
Tomcat), you can set up a servlet entry in your deployment descriptor that uses the
name of the JSP page:
<web-app>
...
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>mypage.jsp</jsp-file>
<init-param>
<param-name>param1</param-name>
<param-value>The value of this parameter</param-value>
</init-param>
...
</servlet>
...
</web-app>
These parameters will be picked up by the init() method of the generated servlet,
and are available in your JSP page in a scriptlet like this:
<%
String value =
getServletConfig().getInitParameter("param1");
%>
