implicit object doubt

[Venkata Kumar]

Hi All,

In jsp we can access the context initialization parameters, which are declared in web.xml, using the implicit object initParam.
Similarly how do we access servletconfig initialization parameters in jsp. I want to print the values using expression language and don't want to use scriptlets.

following is the relevant web.xml entries

	<servlet>
			<servlet-name>infojsp </servlet-name>
			 <jsp-file> /WEB-INF/jsp/personData.jsp</jsp-file>
               <init-param>
		<param-name>message</param-name>
		<param-value>hello</param-value>
	      </init-param>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<url-pattern> /jsp/infojsp</url-pattern>	 	<!-- used by form.jsp -->
		<servlet-name>infojsp</servlet-name>
	</servlet-mapping>
        <context-param>
		<param-name>databaseType</param-name>
		<param-value>Mysql</param-value>
	</context-param>

Thanks,
venkat

Hi Venkat.

I want to print the values using expression language and don't want to use scriptlets.

As far my knowledge concerned, I think in EL we can't get.

There is a discussion about that here: http://www.coderanch.com/t/168431/Web-Component-Certification-SCWCD/certification/EL-retrieving-init-param-servlet
