you mean thhe request parameters?
It doesn't make sense to try and access the request parameters at this
point - a servlet engine could choose to pre-load its servlets so when
jspInit is called then there may be no request.
You can specify start-up parameters to a servlet, and you can (depending on
the engine) pre-compile JSPs into servlets and reference them as servlets in
the web.xml file. Which means, in theory, that you could specify startup
parameters to a JSP. I say in theory because I've never tried this.
What parameters do you need exactly?
