It may be possible, but I dont't recommend that way.
At least, you have to implement such mechanism by yourself.
Also, you have to take care for the server-side instantiation
which will be done without using suite() method.

You might pass the system property as a command-line argument of the JVM,
i.e. java -Dservertype=XXX junit.textui.TestRunner <class-name>.

Is this test really works with ServletTestRunner?
Have you ever test the value of this.environment in testSometing() method?
I think, the MyTest will be constructed with argument value of
"testSomething" for the second instantiateion in the servier-side.
So, this.environment above will have value of "testSomething"
that you are not expecting. I may misunderstanding something, though.
Hope this helps.
