Thanks for that. I think I'll look up your other recommendations first. I
don't know ant at all so I'll start with the other one.

Nearly all non-trivial web applications have environment-specific
settings. There are many standards-compliant, portable ways to deal
with this. For example, you can have tokens in your web.xml and have
ant fill them in depending upon the environment you're deploying to. Or
you can have <Enviroment> entries in server.xml with the <env-entry>
references in web.xml. Either of these is far superior to putting
anything in a container-specific location not intended for use in the
way you want it to.
If you still think it's a good idea, you can maybe do this by converting
the parameters from servlet init params to context params, and putting
those in conf/web.xml, e.g.
<context-param>
<param-name>myParam</param-name>
<param-value>myValue</param-value>
</context-param>
They will then be accessible via
getServletContext().getInitParameter("myParam"); in your servlets.
