Worked for me all my life.
E.g., in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>open-port</param-name>
<param-value>7180</param-value>
<description>Port for regular HTTP via Apache</description>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>secure-port</param-name>
<param-value>7143</param-value>
<description>Port for HTTPS via Apache</description>
</context-param>
and in the jsp page:
<HTML>
<BODY>
parameters are:<BR>
open-port=<%= application.getInitParameter("open-port") %><BR>
secure-port=<%= application.getInitParameter("secure-port") %><BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
