hi,
well all jsps are compiled to servlets before running anyway, well if you using a jsp you can still do the
String param = getInitParameter("serverParam");
you could do this in the jspInit method
public void jspInit()
String param = config.getInitParameter("serverParam");
// config is the implicit ServletConfig object
The getInitParameter method is actually defined in the javax.servlet.ServletConfig class, the ServetConfig object is available as an implicit object by name config in a jsp page with page-level scope). well hope this was useful.
