Ah - that did it - thankyou ! This works in other servers - is this a "feature"?
Any clue if I can override the servlet params in my geronimo-web.xml file? many thanks, John. -----Original Message----- From: David Carew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 01/02/2007 01:02 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Servlet init params not being picked up 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.
