The ShowMessage servlet with server specific initialization parameters.

Listing 2.9 shows the setup file used to supply initialization parameters to

servlets used with Tomcat 3.0. The idea is that you first associate a name with

the servlet class file, then associate initialization parameters with that name

(not with the actual class file). The setup file is located in

install_dir/webpages/WEB INF

. Rather than recreating a similar version

by hand, you might want to download this file from 

http://www.core 

servlets.com/

, modify it, and copy it to

install_dir/webpages/WEB INF

. 

Listing 2.10 shows the properties file used to supply initialization parame 

ters to servlets in the JSWDK. As with Tomcat, you first associate a name

with the servlet class, then associate the initialization parameters with the

name. The properties file is located in 

install_dir/webpages/WEB INF

.
