Hello. I wrote jspInit() method to get initial parameter from web.xml file. The JSP page contains this: <%! public void jspInit() { ServletContext c = getServletContext(); String data = (String)c.getInitParameter("name"); } %> and web.xml file contains this: <servlet> <servlet-name> test </servlet-name> <jsp-file> /test.jsp </jsp-file> <init-param> <param-name>name</param-name> <param-value>value</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> But, the JSP page can't get the initial parameter data. I don't know what is the problem. Please help me. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
