Answer 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%>
