First off, I don't see the reason why you can't use context-params in the
web.xml to achieve your ends. A web-app is supposed to be portable, after
all.
If you really need to set some props at the server level, you can use the
-Dname=value feature of the JVM. You can add these via the JMC or by
editing local.properties directly. Those params will be available to every
web-app in the JVM that runs the server. You can retrieve them as: String
propName = System.getProperty("propName");
