Config Implicit Object in JSP by R4R Team

Config Implicit Object in JSP with examples:
It is an instance of javax.servlet.ServletConfig. Config Implicit object is used for getting configuration information for a particular JSP page. Using application implicit object we can get application-wide initialization parameters, however using Config we can get initialization parameters of an individual servlet mapping.
Methods of Config Implicit Object:

String getInitParameter(String paramname) – Same what we discussed in application implicit object tutorial.
Enumeration getInitParameterNames() – Returns enumeration of Initialization parameters.
ServletContext getServletContext() – This method returns a reference to the Servlet context.
String getServletName() – It returns the name of the servlet which we define in the web.xml file inside <servlet-name> tag.
Config Implicit Object Example:

web.xml:

Let’s say below is my web.xml file. I’m just defining servlet name and servlet mapping in it. Later, I would fetch few details from this file using config implicit object.
<web-app>

<servlet>

<servlet-name>ycdServlet</servlet-name>

<jsp-file>/index.jsp</jsp-file>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>ycdServlet</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/index</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

index.jsp

In this JSP page we are calling getServletName() method of config object for fetching the servlet name from web.xml file.

<html>

<head> <title> Config Implicit Object</title>

</head>

<body>

<%

String sname=config.getServletName();

out.print("Servlet Name is: "+sname);

%>

</body>

</html>
