Note that servlet init parameters are something different than context parameters.

so, does it mean that if the request directly comes to a jsp(not through a servlet) we cannot get servlet init parameter using EL ?

[Poonam Agarwal]

Can't we get servlet config parameter from JSP file, using a config implicit object??

somthing like:-

config.getInitParameter OR config.getIntiParameterNames, and then we can store the return value as an attribute in any of the four specified scope.
EL then access that attribute to get the required parameter.

I am not sure, just assumed it, that it may happen.


Thanks

then you have to use scripting, the whole point of EL is to avoid scripting. isn't it ?
