Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

ServletConfig

Synopsis

A ServletConfig object passes configuration information from the server to a servlet. ServletConfig supports initialization parameters (also known simply as init parameters) defined by the server administrator for a particular servlet. These parameters are accessed via the getInitParameter() and getInitParameterNames() methods. ServletConfig also includes a ServletContext object, accessible via getServletContext(), for direct interaction with the server.

public interface ServletConfig {
// Public Instance Methods
   public abstract String getInitParameter( String name);  
   public abstract java.util.Enumeration getInitParameterNames(
        );  
   public abstract ServletContext getServletContext();  
   public abstract String getServletName();                      // 2.2
}
