For every context make an Entry into your web.xml and add a servlet which
loads on start up.
The each servlet loads your properties file.
and Use URL mapping, to load the appropirate servlet.

Subject: Re: Context loading of .properties files
Here is another way to thinkabout it...
Create a config table in your database that holds all the properties you
need to run your app.
One record for each context - the key will be the different URL each context
uses. On startup, use the URL to hit the database for the record with the
correct properties and go from there. Keep everything in the database.
