I have an error with ServletConfig!!!

[outis]

The error is that de servlet doesn't read the SimpleInitFile.servlet because the servlet returns null when it read de parameters. here is de code and the xml file
I will appreciate your help

the servlet....

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class SimpleInitServlet extends HttpServlet {

public String mydriver;
public String myurl;
public String myuserID;
public String mypassword;

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException, IOException {
...

}


// i dont see what is wrong
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws
ServletException {
super.init(config);
mypassword = config.getInitParameter("password"
mydriver = config.getInitParameter("driver"
myuserID = config.getInitParameter("userID"
myurl = config.getInitParameter("URL"

}
}

the xml file.....

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<servlet>
<code>SimpleInitServlet</code>
<init-parameter value=&quot;dspaduntj&quot; name=&quot;password&quot;/>
<init-parameter value=&quot;com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver&quot; name=&quot;driver&quot;/>
<init-parameter value=&quot;userid&quot; name=&quot;userID&quot;/>
<init-parameter value=&quot;jdbc:as400://143.12.11.168&quot; name=&quot;URL&quot;/>
<init-parameter value=&quot;jdbc/jdbcas400135215178&quot; name=&quot;dataSourceName&quot;/>
</servlet>

Your deployment descriptor is wrong. You need to follow the structure for deployment descriptors exactly if you want them to work. It should look like this:
[/code]
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC &quot;-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN&quot; &quot;

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd&quot;>

<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SimpleInitServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>Fully Qualified Class</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>password</param-name>
<param-value>dspaduntj</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>driver</param-name>
<param-value>com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>userID</param-name>
<param-value>userid</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>URL</param-name>
<param-value>jdbc:as400://143.12.11.168</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>dataSourceName</param-name>
<param-value>jdbc/jdbcas400135215178</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SimpleInitServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/SimpleInitServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
[/code]

Of course some of this information you need to support like the FQ Class and other information is really up to you like the servlet-mapping.

I suggest you check out the DTD for a Web Application Deployment Descriptor, here is the link:
