How to config java.util.Properties as JNDI in Tomcat

How to configure a properties file content into Tomcat to recover by JNDI? like a DataSource but in this case it's a Properties.

In Jetty server I can configure this way:

 <New id="props-users" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
  <Arg>props/users</Arg>
  <Arg>
   <New class="java.util.Properties">
    <Put name="url">http://127.0.0.0:5984</Put>
    <Put name="schema">users</Put>
    <Put name="user">mary</Put>
    <Put name="password">secret</Put>
   </New>
  </Arg>
 </New>

In Glassfish server I can configure this way:

<custom-resource factory-class="org.glassfish.resources.custom.factory.PropertiesFactory" description="Properties to CouchDb enviroment" res-type="java.util.Properties" jndi-name="props/users">
   <property name="url" value="http://127.0.0.0:5984"></property>
   <property name="schema" value="users"></property>
   <property name="user" value="mary"></property>
   <property name="password" value="secret"></property>
 </custom-resource>

Tomcat, there are a custom or in the box implementation?
