17    <servlet-class>oli.servlet.UdpServlet</servlet-class>
18    <!-- UDP Port fuer MSX -->
19    <init-param>
20      <param-name>udpPort</param-name>

The listings package manual has an example that covers this:

\begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=100]
for i:=maxint to 0 do
begin
{ do nothing }
end;
\end{lstlisting}
