Is the path to the config file something you can hard-code? If so, how about simply a class with a static initializer block to read the config file, then expose the values through a static getConfig() method returning a static HashMap? That's about as simple, light-weight and environment-agnostic solution as I can think of, IF you can live with hard-coding the path. Perhaps have the path a part of some app-specific config file that IS in your WAR, pointing to the config file OUTSIDE the WAR? That feels like it's getting a bit more complicated, but depending on how big a deal the hard-coding is to you, may not be a big deal.
