All the previous answers about loading from properties files and using servlet
context are valid but I think you mean that you have _physically_ separated servers
which have physically separated servlet engines attached to them. It is a much
bigger problem in such a case. The servlet API does not define a way to share stuff
across JVMs (at least I don't believe it does) so you're stuck with some application
server that will do it for you.
If you get a good response to this I'd like to know too.
