You can do something like this...
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";>
<web-app>
<display-name>display</display-name>
<description>description</description>
<context-param>
<param-name>param1</param-name>
<param-value>some value here</param-value>
<description>a better description here</description>
</context-param>
...
</web-app>
and access it in your xsp like
<xsp:expr>context.getInitParameter("param1")</xsp:expr>
'cause I put the code in there! ;)
