This feature is specific to Tomcat, but yes you can do it. You would use:
<param-value>${catalina.home}/conf/myservlet/myxmlfile.xml</param-value>
When Tomcat parses your web.xml file, it will substitute the value for the
System property catalina.home. Of course, this works for any System
property.
