Problem with accessing init parameters from JSP file
Hi,
I have my init parameters and Jsp configured in web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TestJsp</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/Test.jsp</jsp-file>
<init-param>
<param-name>username</param-name>
<param-value>Balboa</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
How do I access 'username' field from JSP file.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

# 1
you can do this in the jsp
<%=config.getInitParameter("username")%>
or do it in the jspInit method in the jsp:
<%! String userName = null;
public void jspInit() {
ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
userName= config.getInitParameter("userName ");
}
%>
Hello <%=userName%>

Ya that's working fine, but the value which I am retreiving is
null
.
I tried to troubleshoot it, but i couldnt resolve the problem. Could you tell why is that happening.
Thanx
