When trying to set the context parameter according to:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html
Both in the WEB-INF/web.xml and in a application context file the parameters can
not be read from the servlet with ServletContext.getInitParameter().

catalina/webapps/webapp.xml:

<!-- R-Server context -->
<Context path="/boris/web" docBase="/home/boris/work/rs-home/war/web/web"
      debug="1" reloadable="true" crossContext="false">
      
    <Parameter name="LoggerName" value="rserver-web" override="false"/>
 
</Context>

    public void init() {
        String name = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("LoggerName");
        if(name == null)
                Log.error("Missing logger name"); // always !
        }
    }
