WAS v8.5 > Reference > SetsInitial parameters for servlets settings page
Use this page to specify initial parameters that are passed to the init method of web module servlet filters. We can specify initial parameter values for servlets in web modules during or after installation of an application onto a WebSphere Application Server deployment target. The <param-value> values specified in <init-param> statements in web.xml of web modules are used by default.
To view this dmgr console page, click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Init parameters for servlets. This page is the same as the Init parameters for servlets in each web module panel on the application installation and update wizards.
Module
Name of a module in the application that you are installing or that you are viewing after installation.
URI
Location of the module relative to the root of the application (EAR file).
Servlet
Unique name for the servlet within the application.
A servlet is a Java program that uses the Java Servlet Application Programming Interface (API). You must package servlets in a Web archive (WAR) file or web module for deployment to an application server. Servlets run on a Java-enabled web server and extend the capabilities of a web server, similar to the way applets run on a browser and extend the capabilities of a browser.
Name
Name of the initial parameter passed to the init method of the web module servlet filter.
The following example servlet filter statement in a web.xml file specifies an initial parameter name of attribute:
<init-param> <param-name>attribute</param-name> <param-value>tests.Filter.DoFilter_Filter.SERVLET_MAPPED</param-value> </init-param>
Value
Value assigned to an initial parameter passed to the init method of the web module servlet filter.
The following example servlet filter statement in a web.xml file specifies an initial parameter value of tests.Filter.DoFilter_Filter.SERVLET_MAPPED for the init parameter attribute:
<init-param> <param-name>attribute</param-name> <param-value>tests.Filter.DoFilter_Filter.SERVLET_MAPPED</param-value> </init-param>
Specifies information on the initial parameter.
