getServletConfig() in pageContext() not working

Hi all,

I was experimenting with the init-param of a jsp file. My web.xml is

and the jsp page "BasicCounter.jsp" is

I got a result

My email is null
email is null

client email is alima1965@yahoo.com

I expected that since pageContext object is available in the page I can access the init-param values using that object. The same is the case with application object too. What is the reason for this behaviour?

If you want to add init-params to a JSP via web.xml, you need to create a servlet mapping for your JSP and use the url defined in that mapping when making the request.

Context init params, on the other hand are bound to the Context object (which is available to all components of the app) will be available, regardless of how your JSP was invoked.

Hi Mr.Ben Souther,

It is working fine. Thanks for the reply.. When I mapped in web.xml, all the implicit objects are available in the page..

Thanks once again for the immediate answer
