If the configuration information is modified from the web.xml file, we don’t need to change the servlet. So it is easier to manage the web application if any specific content is modified from time to time.
The core advantage of ServletConfig is that you don’t need to edit the servlet file if information is modified from the web.xml file.
ServletConfig config=getServletConfig(); String email=config.getInitParameter("email");
In this example, we are getting the one initialization parameter from the web.xml file and printing this information in the servlet.
HelloServlet.java
import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); ServletConfig config=getServletConfig(); String email=config.getInitParameter("email"); out.print("Email is: "+eamil); out.close(); } }
web.xml
<web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>email</param-name> <param-value>admin@dineshonjava.com</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet1</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app>
In this example, we are getting all the initialization parameter from the web.xml file and printing this information in the servlet.
HelloServlet.java
import java.io.IOException; import java.io.PrintWriter; import java.util.Enumeration; import javax.servlet.ServletConfig; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); ServletConfig config=getServletConfig(); Enumeration<String> e=config.getInitParameterNames(); String str=""; while(e.hasMoreElements()){ str=e.nextElement(); out.print("<br>Name: "+str); out.print(" value: "+config.getInitParameter(str)); } out.close(); } }
web.xml
<web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>name</param-name> <param-value>dinesh</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>email</param-name> <param-value>admin@dineshonjava.com</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet1</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app>
