Just so y'all know, I can use context-params fine, but no init-params for my servlet work at all.  It is useless to define <init-param> tags in between my <servlet> tags in web.xml because Tomcat doesn't register them or make them available to my servlet.  Tomcat only makes available <context-param> definitions.  Oh well, that's Tomcat...

Yes, this is what I am trying to do.  Maybe I'll try overriding the init() method of my servlet and try to call it up from there, but as you say, the docs say I should be able to do it from within a service method, so I shouldn't have to do this.
No such luck.  Even when I override init() and in there use getInitParameter from my ServletConfig, there are still zero init parameters, yet I have now defined six in web.xml for this servlet context.  And they are <init-param>s inside the <servlet> definition, not <context-param>s as some people have mistakenly tried and then complained on the mailing list that they couldn't access the values using getInitParameter().

Please help!
