I think this will solve your problem.
Reboot the server after making changes to the web.xml .
web.xml
<servlet> <servlet-name>GetInitParam</servlet-name> <jsp-file>/GetInitParam.jsp</jsp-file> <init-param> <param-name>url</param-name> <param-value>hello</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>GetInitParam</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/GetInitParam.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
GetInitParam.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>Example of getting init param</title> </head> <body> <%! String url= null; public void jspInit() { ServletConfig config = getServletConfig(); url= config.getInitParameter("url"); } %> <% System.out.println(url); %> </body> </html>
Update 1
As you requested in your comments to access parameters in all jsp files . to access parameters in all jsp files, you must set <context-param> in web.xml
Put the following lines in web.xml
<context-param> <param-name>param1</param-name> <param-value>hello</param-value> </context-param>
you can access these parameters as follows in the jsp file:
<% String param1=application.getInitParameter("param1"); System.out.println(param1); %>
