Howdy, You shouldn't be giving other parameters to tomcat's own DefaultServlet.
Your own servlets have no limitations on the number of name of variables: you can have as many <init-param> tags in your <servlet> tags as you want. If you want some params common to all the servlets in your web-app, use <context-param> instead, outside your <servlet> tags.
