Howdy, You can access <init-param> parameters any time, not just during initialization. The same is true for <context-param> parameters.
As for including parameters in <url-pattern> elements, that doesn't make much sense. URL patterns are interpreted by the container for mapping purposes using a very specific, well defined algorithm. You shouldn't use them for anything except mapping of requests to resources. You shouldn't use them to indicate how the resources should function, e.g. what the resources should do.
