Well, it's printing out the value I assign in the web.xml file. Still it is not recognizing the user/password pairs. I think that I don't have the correct value but I don't know what correct would be?
I am using the code from Marty Hall's core servlets book called protectedPage, and it should be straightforward but not.

I mean, I understood the nature of the problem, but wasn't sure if you were getting an exception or compiler error. Are you sure that it's a matter of reading the init-param? I'd try printing out the value of that init-param from your servlet with code similar to this in doGet(): String name = "passwordFile"; String value = this.getServletConfig( ).getInitParameter(name); PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter(); out.println("<h1>The value of " + name + " is " + value + "</h1>"); This will tell you whether or not it's a problem with your web.xml file or if it's your bidness logic. Also, not sure if you fully stopped and started Tomcat...
