How to use init parameters?

Question

Is it posible to use init parameters with FacesServlet?
With any other servlet I'd do this:
<servlet>
- <init-param>
  <param-name>base</param-name>
  <param-value>/shop</param-value>
  </init-param>
</servlet>but it doesn't seem correct to the same with the FacesServlet ie:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
- <init-param>
  <param-name>imageURL</param-name>
  <param-value>/images/</param-value>
  </init-param>What is the right way to use init params with JSF?

Answer 1

You don't have control over the FacesServlet.
Rather use the context-param.
<context-param>
    <param-name>paramName</param-name>
    <param-value>paramValue</param-value>
</context-param>
String paramName = facesContext.getExternalContext().getInitParameter("paramName");
