How to access s from Servlet.init()?

[Shankar Unni]

I'd like to configure a set of web-app-level parameters for use by both 
Java-based Servlets, and JSP pages.  I thought of setting these up as 
<context-param>s at the <web-app> level in web.xml.

For JSPs, all is cool: <%= application.getInitParameter("foo") %> 
returns these parameters.

For Servlets, how do I get at them from the init() method? (I need them 
there!). I find that calling config.getInitParameter() doesn't return 
these (where "config" is the parameter to init() - it only returns the 
actual <init-param>s configured within the <servlet>).

Also, this.getServletConfig() is null, and this.getServletContext() 
throws an NPE from within javax.servlet.GenericServlet.

(All this with Tomcat 5.0.27).
