I'm looking into the possibility of migrating our web applications from 
standalone Tomcat to JBoss AS.  One difference I seem to have encountered 
arises from an error related to the lookup of values we had defined in  entries 
in our web application contexts... when the WAR file is deployed in JBoss, our 
servlets can't seem to locate those entries.

The context files included something along the lines of:



Then, in a servlet that is loaded upon startup of the application, we read in 
this variable to initialize some important information in the web application 
that needs to be different between our development, QA, and production 
environments:

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env");
String importantList = (String) envCtx.lookup("importantList");

How is something similar to this accomplished with JBoss?  In which file would 
the  variable need to be defined?  I'd prefer to keep this outside of the WAR 
file, if possible, as we are able to do in standalone Tomcat.  Doing so greatly 
simplifies our process of moving from Development to QA to Production, as we're 
able to simply copy the WAR file to the appropriate server as it is approved at 
each stage of testing, without changing any of the internal settings.
