Hi astha
How are you accessing the jsp?
Can you please provide the url?
In case you are accessing it directly using it then implicit mapping of container may come in and not pass the initialization parameters.

It would be better if you can tell me url.Also If you are accessing it directly the please add following
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MyInitParamJsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>url mapping that will satisfy your request</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

You have to set the complete name of your JSP file with the extension. And also add the url-mapping to the web.xml as mentioned.

And yes we don't use scriptlets, scriptlet expressions etc... in the JSPs these days.

Then what about your value in the <jsp-file> tag? If you have this correctly then it should work unless you are not telling us something else that you have done...

Hi

I used the same web.xml as provided by me and the same jsp as provided by you.
Here are the results
Your email id : asthasharma017@gmail.com

I guess you are missing something.Please do a double check.

I think you should include the folder containing the jsp file in the jsp-file tag as follows:
<jsp-file>/InitParamJSP/MyInitParamJsp.jsp</jsp-file>

The use of config.getInitParameter is ok.

I hope you can solve your problem.
