Subject: web.XML - lookup values?

Slightly off-subject, but does anyone know how you can define values in xml
and then look them up in your actionForm? Or if it can't be done in web.xml,
how about application.properties?

Basically, I want to format a date according to a time format string eg,
"dd, MMM, yyyy hh:mm". However, I want to be able to configure this via a
setting. I'd imagine there'd be something in web.xml  like

<mapping>
	<var>
		myTimeFormatVar
	</var>

	<type>
		java.lang.String
	</type>
	
	<value>
		"dd, MMM, yyyy hh:mm
	</value>

<mapping>

failing that, can I do it in JDNI?

Thanks
