Description Simon Kaegi CLA 2007-07-27 16:49:35 EDT 
In a typical servlet application the ServletContext object provides methods to get at a shared set of initial parameters used by all servlets in the webapplication.

For the Http Service the HttpContext is used to provides the underlying implemtation of the Servletcontext however it does not provide initparam support. This bug is to look at providing this support.

proposed patch

This patch of our ServletContext implementation in http.servlet uses reflection to "attempt" to call the equivalent initparam methods on the HttpContext.
Comment 2 Thomas Watson CLA 2015-03-18 08:14:16 EDT 
The http whiteboard specification provides the ability to set the init params on the ServletContext via the ServletContextHelper service properties.
