Murthy,
What entries did you use in the web.xml file and what code did you use in
your servlet to retrieve the parameters.
In the web.xml inside your servlet section, you should have an entry like this
<init-param>
<param-name>
yourParamName
</param-name>
<param-value>
yourParamValue
</param-value>
</init-param>
In your servlet's init() method, you should then have code like this:
String param;
public void init(ServletConfig config) {
super.init(config);
param = config.getInitParameter("yourParamName");
if (param == null) {
param = DEFAULT_PARAM_VALUE; // this needs to be defined somewhere else.
}
Regards,
Richard
