Can you use the -D<name>=<value> option for your Java Runtime?

I know with a web application i can add something like <context-param> <param-name>configFileLocation</param-name> <param-value>E:\\myapp\\config\\config.xml</param-value></context-param> to the web.xml file and in the servlet i can access the variable by calling application.getInitParameter("configFileLocation") i can then use that as a bootstrap to load the rest of my configuration settings. is there something similar that i can add to (for example) the deployment descriptor so i will be able to pass in a bit of startup information ? best regards, tom
