Funny, I've had a go at this yesterday and dropped the whole 'wrapper.env'
directive since I was not able to retrieve any variable via this directive.

What I found that did work is either specify the initArgs and read them using
getInitParameter(), which was not the way for me since I wanted a
environment variable available not only to servlets but also to other classes

Waht I think you want is specifiy the environtment variable as a argument to
the JVM using wrapper.bin.parameters=-D[name]=[value]

You can retrieve this value using System.getProperty("name"), which was exactly
what I wanted. (seems to me that this is what the wrapper.env should do but
doesn't, or am I missing a point here)
