I store properties in my the app WEB-INF/web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>smtpServer</param-name>
<param-value>my.smtpserver.net</param-value>
<description>SMTP server to be used to send email from forms in the
website</description>
</context-param>
and I access the value also in JSP pages with
String value = getServletContext().getInitParameter("smtpServer");
and I assure u that it works even with JSP not only with servlet, but I
never tryed accessing it from inside a bean.
The only problem is that when you change the value you have to reload the
application..
hope that helps
