Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello

I'm trying to get the initial parameters for my servlet. I have changed the ../conf/web.xml from my Tomcat in the sense that I added this:

<!-- Init parameters for the servlet DatabaseServlet -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>DatabaseServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>server.DatabaseServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>database</param-name>
            <param-value>Test</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>user</param-name>
            <param-value>sa</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>password</param-name>
            <param-value></param-value>
        </init-param>
  </servlet>

right before the 'Build in Servlet Mappings'.
In the doGet method I have added:

String dbase= getServletConfig().getInitParameter("database");
String duser= getServletConfig().getInitParameter("user");
String dpassword= getServletConfig().getInitParameter("password");

but al this values are null and I don't know why.

The servlet class is in ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/server. I have no password for my server, so I use only 'sa' for loging in.
I've tried using the init method like this:

  String dbase= null;
  String duser= null;
  String dpassword= null;
  public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
    super.init(config);	

    dbase= config.getInitParameter("database");
    duser= config.getInitParameter("user");
    dpassword= config.getInitParameter("password");
  }

but I get the same error: "Log in failed for user 'duser'" and that is because all my parameters are 'null'.
All works just fine if I don't use the init parameters and put the values direct in the code.

Please help.

Michael
