I am using JSF and want to get some parameters from the portlet.xml file. I 
am thinking maybe the config-param. How do I get these in my backingbean? al
l I have is the FacesContext to get stuff from.

neither of these two work:

String noteType = (String)context.getExternalContext().getInitParameter("not
etype");

String noteType = (String)requestParam.get("notetype");



<config-param>
<param-name>notetype</param-name>
<param-value>information</param-value>
</config-param>
