Answer:

Servlet init parameters are declared inside the tag inside Deployment Descriptor and are for a single servlet only. Context init parameters are declared in a tag directly inside the tag. The methods for accessing context init parameter is getServletContext ().getInitParamter (“name”) where as method for accessing servlet init parameter is getServletConfig ().getInitParamter (“name”); Other different: Any servlet or JSP in a web application can access context init parameter. But no body out side that servlet can access Servlet init parameter.
