Why not create a singleton class to hold the information?

Subject: Managing a Listener
i have a need for some data that is needed by every page. Ideally, this
would simply be a class that is shared by everything else in one webapp
subdirectory, and available in the page context or session.
the only way i can see to do this (based on the docs at least) is to
configure a Listener to look for new session evens, and store an object
in the session that can be used to access the information.
however, i would definitely want this listener to be able to read init
information and find the preferred logger, etc.
how is this accomplished? the listener, although configurable from the
server.xml file, seems to receive no config information. it needs to
have things like a configuration file name passed to it.
the other way i guess would be to split up the thing into two
(conceptually at least), one listener and something else that gets
initialized by the container. would that have to be a servlet then? is
there any way of just initializing 'objects' in server.xml?
