I can not get my servlet to read the init-param's of my web.xml file! My servlet is located in the folder tomcat/webapps/WebOE/WEB-INF/classes and the web.xml file which is in the WEB-INF folder has the following code: <web-app>     <servlet>       <servlet-name>WebOE</servlet-name>       <servlet-class>WebOE</servlet-class>       <init-param>         <param-name>DBServer</param-name>         <param-value>spacejam</param-value>       </init-param>     </servlet> </web-app> but when i try to read it from teh servlet using the getInitParameter function, it returns a null function.  is there anything that i am overlooking?
