I don't think the init parameters are available via the method you're using
until after the servlet is initialized. Try using this signature for init
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
and then using the getParameterNames method on the ServletConfig object.

Hi,
My servlet isn't picking up the init params. Am I doing something wrong?
Additionally - can I change these params in the geronimo-web.xml file so
they change at deployment?
My servlet init method
public void init() throws ServletException
{
super.init();
// I used to get a specific param but that failed too so I moved to this
test case
Enumeration names = getServletContext().getInitParameterNames();
System.out.println("Printing out init params");
while(names.hasMoreElements())
{
System.out.println("'"+names.nextElement()+"'");
}
outputs this to stdio ->
Printing out init params
but no params !
This is the web.xml....
