The <init-param> element can only reside inside a <servlet> element and 
only applies to a single servlet, but you can use <context-param>, which 
is a child of <web-app>.  This works similarly to <init-param>, except 
the parameters are available to all servlets in the context via 
ServletContext.getInitParameter() .


Hope this helps,
