Split web.xml context-param into separate config file

Question

I have too many context-parameters inside web.xml, which I would like to put in a separate config-file.

.....
<context-param>
        <param-name>SYSTEM.UPLOADS.DIR</param-name>
        <param-value>/home/youfaces/uploads/</param-value>
</context-param>
......

In a managed class I want to read these params usually like this:

String XYZ   = servletContext.getInitParameter("param name");

Is it possible to put this params in separate config-file and reading it via .getInitParameter(..? if yes where/how to declare it in web.xml exactly?

Every tip/idea is appreciated.

Thanks

@JaqenH'ghar, thanks for the link. but what i need is any idea on how to change the configuration not the Code itself. its a big project, coded from many developers, and these params is used every where in the projekt, so changing Java Code is not an Option. — Rami.Q

With Servlet 3.0 and Tomcat 7 you can use web-fragments to have many configuration files. Tomcat will load and build all fragments to one web.xml on runtime.
