Use cases for @WebInitParam

Question

Since the Servlet 3.0 specification there is the possibility of declaring servlet mapping metadata as annotation on the servlet class:

@WebServlet(name=\"appInfo         


        

Answer 1

I can think of one, from the top of my head: provide the default value (i.e. by the class designer).

If the user of this class is fine with the default value, he don't need to add anything and just uses it. If he's not - he can modify it using the DD.
