Yes, the config object is there, but I'm not so sure it should be ;-)
Even though JSP pages are turned into servlets, I don't think it makes
much sense to set init params for a page. Can you tell us what type of
init params you have in mind?
If you need to access application configuration data (i.e. info that
applies to the application as opposed to a specific page), you can use
servlet context (mapped to the "application" object) attributes.
You can use a servlet that loads on startup to initialize the context
attributes (for instance using its init params). In Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1
simple string based servlet context init params can also be defined in the
web.xml file.
