Hi Paul,
When you say "the servlet's getInitParameter("test")" what *exactly* do you
mean?
Do you mean that your servlet's init method is like:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
Object o = config.getInitParameter("test");
....
If so, then all I can say is it works for me.....
According to the docs, you should also be able
to do this inside the service method:
Object o = this.getServletConfig().getInitParameter("test");
I haven't tried this, though..
Regards,
Simon
