init parameters and attributes are different things. Things set up as
context-param's in web.xml are available via the ServletContext
getInitParameter() (and getInitParameterNames()) method --
getAttribute() is for attributes.
The odd thing is that in the subject line of your note you mention
getInitParameter() (even though you indicate above that you're using
getAttribute()).
