You don't need to rely on the servlet engine for this, and you certainly
don't need to hard-code these values in any of your classes. You should
implement a singleton design pattern "properties" class that loads
itself with information from a .properties file -- a fairly simple
wrapper around java.util.PropertyResourceBundle. You probably want to
provide some convenience methods that gets values as doubles, integers,
... Typical usage would look like:
com.db.Configuration config = com.db.Configuration.getInstance();
String myServerName = config.getString("serverName");
int myServerPort = config.getInt("serverPort");
The relevant properties file would look like:
serverName=bubba
serverPort=5000
