The problem is with saving those app-level parameters in context.
I tried to do it this way:

<app name="">
        <parameter name="UID" value="sergey"/>
.....
</app>

but getInitParameter("UID") returns null in UuServlet::init().
Looks like it can be parsed only if it's under <servlet...> tag.
If it's not a bug, what's the appropriate syntax for app-level parameters
which are independent from servlets?
