In this example we are going to see how to get/set init parameters in a Servelt. Using init parameters you can specify several important aspects of your servlets that are going to be handled during requests service.
In short, to get/set init Parameters in Servlet you should:
- Create public void init() function on your servlet.
- Call getServletConfig().getInitParameterNames()
- Use put(initParamName, initParamValue) to put parameters in your init parameter map.
- In your doGet method use initParamsMap.entrySet().iterator() to get an Iterator an iterate through init parameters.
Let’s see the code snippets that follow:
