Have your tryed putting your params in the context?
---------snip--------------
<web-app>
<!-- MySQL host -->
<context-param>
<param-name>dbhost</param-name>
<param-value>localhost</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- MySQL database -->
<context-param>
<param-name>dbname</param-name>
<param-value>blah</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- more stuff here -->
</web-app>
--------/snip--------------
These are in the context (the overall application), instead of a
particular servlet. You can access them via the getInitParameter()
method of the context...
Hope that helps,
