Howdy, Your could put the property as a context-param in your web.xml, then in a ServletContextListener's contextInitialied method get the context param value and use System.setProperty to set the system property your 3rd party library needs.
That said, I wouldn't do the above, but instead use JAVA_OPTS for tomcat. It's cleaner IMHO, but this is a personal style matter.
