Access Parameter

[TOMITA_ALEX_NONLILLY]

Can I use something like this in my jsp page (instead of a java sevlet) to 

get the parameter name?,
before that I set the parameter in my web.xml file like this:

<context-param>
      <param-name>parameter name</param-name>
      <param-value>localhost</param-value>
</context-param>

String value =  getServletContext().getInitParameter("parameter name");

is it only works in a sevlet or will it work in a jsp page too???

thanks again
