About Question enthuware.jwpv6.2.705 :

[ETS User]

The answer and explaination to this question appears to be incorrect .

The getInitParameter method must be called on the servletconfig object NOT the servlet object.

[admin]

HttpServlet implements ServletConfig interface and so this.getInitParameter("DBURL"); is valid in a servlet.

HTH,

[jmkenny]

I would rather say GenericServlet implements ServletConfig interface and HttpServlet extends GenericServlet.

[PMiglani]

Do I need to assume here that servletcontext is a variable pointing to ServletContext Object. There is nothing mentioned about it in the question.

[admin]

There is already a statement saying, "(Assume that servletcontext is a reference to ServletContext for this servlet.)" at the of the problem statement.

HTH,
Paul.
