Hi Brenda
I did not find any direct way to access the Servlet Init Param from EL but you can still do it using EL functions you can do this --->
---------------------------------------------------------------
Create a class and define the following function
package whatever;
public class ELFunctions {
public static
String getInitParam(PageContext pageContext, String key){
return pageContext.getServletConfig().getInitParameter(key);
}
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
define a whatever.tld file, it should look like this
<uri>
http://www.wia.com/el/functions</uri>;
<function>
<name>getInitParameter</name>
<function-class>whatever.ELFunctions</function-class>
<function-signature>java.lang.String getInitParam(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext, java.lang.String)</function-signature>
</function>
---------------------------------------------------------------
in your
jsp file
<%@taglib uri="http://www.wia.com/el/functions" prefix="wia"%>
<h2>${wia:getInitParameter(pageContext,"adminemail")}</h2>
--------------------------------------------------------------
your dd file looks like this
<servlet>
<init-param>
<param-name>adminemail</param-name>
<param-value>
[email protected]</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
try it and I think everything will be fine.
