you can put a properties file under your WEB-INF/classes directory. in that way it wil be visible on the classpath, then in your java class you can use :

 InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("your_file.properties");

Use Properties file and read it from ContextListener and store it in some application wide accessible map it properties are not too many.

Also you can use web-param
