ServletContext access question

Hello,

Does anyone know how can I access servlet init parameters form another
servlet ?
I mean I can access servlet context (<context-param> ) using
getServletContext().getContext("/some_servlet")
but what I need is to get into 
<servlet>...<init-param>param-I-need-to-know</init-param>...</servlet> .
Is it possible at all ?
Thanks for you help.

Regards,

Did you look at the getInitParameter() method in the jdk doc ?

Thanks for your reply.
Well, if no solution will come up I'll have to move everything to
context-params.
( what quite inconvenient for some reasons)
But still, does servlet API has such thing as accessing cross context init
params
or not ? Would be useful thing to know.

Thanks for your reply.
Sure, there are workarounds, like moving everything to global context.
Perhaps that question more about servlet API in general, and tomcat security
as well, is it possible at all or not. Have not found such information so far
.

Why not use your own Generic Servlet where you read out parameters
set them global and use it with "extend MyGenericServlet"?
(use in web.xml <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> for the 
Generic servlet, so that it get the parameters before any other
servlets start, and dont use at init super.init(ServletConfig)!!)

hope it helps,
tom
