JDev 9i, web.xml servlet init-param problems

I'm getting started using Jdeveloper 9i and can't get servlet init parameters in web.xml to be seen in the init() via getInitParameter. I have a servlet mapping set up in web.xml as:

   <servlet>

<servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mypackage.MyServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>

         <param-name>param1</param-name>
         <param-value>paramValue</param-value>


      </init-param>      

   </servlet>

The init() method in MyServlet is simple:   public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException   {
   super.init(config);
   String param = config.getInitParameter("param1");   }

Instead of getting "paramValue" returned, I get null. I've successfully used mapping like this under Tomcat and other servers. Is there something I'm missing (not understanding/configuring) in JDev 9i? I set the source path for the project to include the project's WEB-INF directory. I know the web.xml is being parsed because if I intentionally include syntax errors, JDev complains when it attempts to instantiate the 9iAS server.
