The simple way that I recommend use http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html. Then you must configure each server access to database. In your source code you doesn't need the information to access to database or other resources. Is the standard form. If your architecture is more complex you can define a custom resource that connect to a service where you define your properties.
