have a servlet that reads the configfile at servletengine startup
(specified in web.xml for tomcat),  have that servlet read the config
variables into public static variables

eg:

class ConfigServlet {
public static String dbDriver;
public static String dbName;

init () {
read variables from configfile


}


class TheBean {

Class.forName(ConfigServlet.dbDriver);
Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection(ConfigServlet.dbName,"", "");
and so on...

}

this is how i did it, comments are welcome
