Dear Friends, I have written a simple servlet which reads a init parameter from the web.xml file and displays on the browser. I'm a beginner and trying to learn simple servlets, I have reached where I can read some init params from the web.xml file and displays on the browser, but all the simple servlets are working without any hassle, but reading init parameter returns null in the servlet, because I triend to print that on to the console, but it returns null, please help me, awaiting a reply, regards Raasi
web.xml looks like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- Copyright 2004 The Apache Software Foundation Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
