I am developing an application that will require different application settings
for different machines/customers.

Because of this, I want to to externalize certain configuration settings to a
XML file outside of web.xml - let's call this myApp.xml.

I have a StartupServlet that I can parse this file with.

1.  What should I use to parse this file - SAX, DOM, Digester?

2.  Should I have a bean that represents all the configuration settings, and
put this in the ServletContext as an attirubute, or each individual setting?

3.  If I use Digester and a bean (seems good), should I change my XML in the
following snippet?

<application>
        <respository>
                <root>d:/repository</root>
                <assets>assets</assets>
                <viewPath>file://d:/repository/assets</viewPath>
        </respository>
        <assessment>
                <!-- This value is a percentage -->
                <default-passing-score>75</default-passing-score>
        </assessment>
</application>

Any help (or URLs) are appreciated!

Matt
