If you set a system property via -DcompanyName="My Company, Incorporated", then you can do: <Parameter name="companyName" value="${companyName}" override="false" /> Tomcat will expand the ${companyName} to the value of the system property when it parses the xml file. And, no, the property name doesn't have to be the same as the Parameter name. This is a Tomcat feature, but since you are putting it in a Tomcat configuration file, I'm going to guess that that won't bother you. >to have different values on different tomcat servers.
