Ah yes - this annoying little quirk.
If you address SnoopServlet.class directly as above, Tomcat does NOT
associate
it with the entry in web.xml therefore you don't get init params. If you
address
it as snoop - the alias that the web.xml sets up with:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
snoop
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
SnoopServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>foo</param-name>
<param-value>bar</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
then you will get the init params!!!!
