- ## Method Details

  - ### getName

    String getName()
    Obtain the name of the Servlet.
    Returns:
      the name of the Servlet.

  - ### getClassName

    String getClassName()
    Obtain the name of the implementation class for the Servlet.
    Returns:
      the name of the implementation class for the Servlet.

  - ### setInitParameter

    boolean setInitParameter(String name, String value)
    Add an initialisation parameter if not already added.
    Parameters:
      `name` - Name of initialisation parameter
      `value` - Value of initialisation parameter
    Returns:
      `true` if the initialisation parameter was set, `false` if the initialisation parameter was not set because an initialisation parameter of the same name already existed
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if name or value is `null`
      `IllegalStateException` - if the ServletContext associated with this registration has already been initialised

  - ### getInitParameter

    String getInitParameter(String name)
    Get the value of an initialisation parameter.
    Parameters:
      `name` - The initialisation parameter whose value is required
    Returns:
      The value of the named initialisation parameter

  - ### setInitParameters

    Set<String> setInitParameters(Map<String,String> initParameters)
    Add multiple initialisation parameters. If any of the supplied initialisation parameter conflicts with an existing initialisation parameter, no updates will be performed.
    Parameters:
      `initParameters` - The initialisation parameters to add
    Returns:
      The set of initialisation parameter names that conflicted with existing initialisation parameter. If there are no conflicts, this Set will be empty.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if any of the supplied initialisation parameters have a null name or value
      `IllegalStateException` - if the ServletContext associated with this registration has already been initialised

  - ### getInitParameters

    Map<String,String> getInitParameters()
    Get the names and values of all the initialisation parameters.
    Returns:
      A Map of initialisation parameter names and associated values keyed by name
