Satyan:
The lines you have in your properties file look correct to me. The only thing I
can think of is maybe the use of the word "init"?? Maybe it is reserved and so
you cant use it? Try changing it to say "Init" or "AnInit" and see if you have
any luck. Sorry to say this obvious thing too, but make sure you restart JRun
after you make this change.. I assume that calling InitServlet directly works,
so you must already have added InitServlet to the classpath, right?
Good luck!
