Guess you are looking to access the context param init paramaters (as
specified in
<context-param> blocks).
The servelt config's getInitParameter corresponds to the *servlet's*
init parameters
So guess you need to use
getServletContext().getInitParameter("applicationName") rather than
getInitParameter("applicationName")

Subject: Using init parameters
I have the following in my web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>applicationName</param-name>
<param-value>testApp</param-value>
</context-param>
My servlet class extends HttpServlet and has the following method:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
configDir = getInitParameter("configDir");
applicationName = getInitParameter("applicationName");
System.out.println("configDir = " + configDir);
System.out.println("applicationName = " + applicationName);
jdbcAccess = new AddrJdbcAccess(configDir, applicationName);
}
Both calls to getInitParameter() return null. What's wrong here?
