Scriptless JSP and config param

[Armand Thierry Bessala]

Hello all,
I have some init parameters for my JSP file and I wanted to display them without using scriptlet.
With scriptlet I wrote this:

  
  admin global email : <%=application.getInitParameter("globalEmail") %>
  global name        : <%=application.getInitiParameter("name") %>
  admin servlet name : <%=config.getInitParameter("localEmail") %>
  local name         : <%=config.getInitParameter("name") %>

and it work fine.
Whithout scriptlet ( with EL ):

  
  admin global email : ${initParam.globalEmail}
  global name        : ${initParam.name}
  admin servlet name : Try to retreive "localEmail" init param from DD
  local name         : Try to retreive "name" init param from DD

How can I retreive servlet init paramameter fom DD. There is no "config" implicit variable for JSP file. Witch implicit variable can I use ? How ?

This is my DD:

  
 <web-app ... >
     <context-param>
       <param-name>name</param-name>
       <param-value> John Smith </param-value>
     </context-param>
     <context-param>
       <param-name>globalEmail</param-name>
       <param-value>[e-mail]</param-value>
     </context-param>
 
     <servlet>
       <servlet-name>TestStandardTagLib</servlet-name>
       <jsp-file>/web/TestStandard.jsp</jsp-file>
       <init-param>
          <param-name>name</param-name>
          <param-value>Maria Sharapova</param-value>
       </init-param>
       <init-param>
          <param-name>localEmail</param-name>
          <param-value>[e-mail]</param-value>
       </init-param>
       <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>TestStandardTagLib</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/web/TestStandard.jsp</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
 </web-app>

Thank you.

Not sure you could do this without a scripting element. The examples I've seen have overridden jspInit() and from there used getServletConfig().getInitParameter("name") and then set it in a scoped attribute.

Hi Krishna,
With almost 100 posts, you've never heard of the ranch's naming policy ?
Could you please read it and change your name accordingly ?

Hi Ed, Hi Krishna,
Thank you for your replies. I also seen the example with overriding of jspInit...I tougth that there was another way ..
With krishna link, I see now there is no way I can directlly access theses values with EL...
