is there any such thing as jspServletConfig

[Ankur Jain Kothari]

i couldnt find anything like this in the specs

[Sebastian Janisch]

Then it probably does not exist.

What exactly do you mean by jspServletConfig ?

You must be thinking of ServletConfig? and wondering how to get the 'config' of a JSP page .... correct?

ServletConfig is mostly helpful because its a way to set/get init parameters for a servlet(s) in your app. To get/set init parameters for a JSP you cam either ...

use a scoped attribute (this is mentioned somewhere in the spec) like so ...

    
     // in your servlet code (or wherever)
     List mymovies = be.getMovies();
     request.setAttribute(“movieList”, mymovies);

or use a context init parameter

- define the param in the DD and you can retrieve it in your JSP pages with EL like so ...
- ${initParam.paramname}

[Keith Flo]

One other point ...

Its easy to confuse the methods needed to get the init params in servlet code ...

To get the servlet init params use ...

 getServletConfig().getInitParameter(“foo”);   

To get the context (think application) init params use ...

 getServletContext().getInitParameter(“foo”);   

Context for context (application) params .... Config for servlet params ...
