Try using an Initialization Argument. You can retrieve them either straight
from the ServletContext passed in the init() method or (if you properly call
super.init(config)) from the getServletConfig() method.

name via an environemnt variable. I have noticed that getenv() is
deprecated, and I wasn't able to find anything in getServletContext().
