better use
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>proxy_server</param-name>
<param-value>labproxy</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>proxy_port</param-name>
<param-value>8080</param-value>
</context-param>
.
.
.
and in your servlet use
/**Initialize global variables*/
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
{
super.init(config);
ServletContext context = config.getServletContext();
PROXY_SERVER = context.getInitParameter("proxy_server");

Sure - create all of those name/value pairs in a properties file
and have web.xml point to it.
In your init method use a java.util.Properties object to read
the properties file and recover the parameters that servlet needs.
I do this all the time, makes it easy to synchronize all servlets
with the same properties.
