Adding servlet entry in web.xml of j2ee engine

Question

Hi ,
I want a servlet to be loaded on startup of the j2ee engine SAP WAS which is basically flex based (MessageBrokerServlet). 
The init param for the servlet is not accessible or cannot be initialized in init method of the servlet using the servletconfig object.
This is when the servlet is used as a portal component of type servlet.
So as to load the servlet and the servlet being able to access the init param i would be changing the web.xml of the sap j2ee engine (NW CE 7.1). are there any other effects of the same or is it fine if i just add this param in the web.xml
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>MessageBrokerServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>MessageBrokerServlet</display-name>
        <servlet-class>flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>services.configuration.file</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml</param-value>
       </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

Answer 1

Hi ,
Vivek in case my servlet is part of the Portal Application as PortalComponent how do i define init parameters  that can be accessed in the servlet.
The config file would be accessed in the init method of the servlet how do i do that when the servlet is added as PortalComponent in PortalApplication. The servlet config file needs to accessed in t he init method.
The load on startup thing would be taken care of by setting parameter startup = true of application properties.
