Configuring properties for javax.mail

[Tad Dicks]

I'm building a web application that on certain actions generates an email to be sent.

public class MailBean
{
   private MimeMessage msg = null;
   public static Properties properties = null;
   public static Session session = null;
 
   /*When this app is transferred consider changing these values!*/
   static 
   {
properties = System.getProperties();
        properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "some.com");
session = Session.getInstance(properties, null);
   }
   public MailBean()
   {
       msg = new MimeMessage(session);
   }

Is there a way make the string inside the static block configurable (from web.xml)? so that when teh application is moved it will still work?

thanks for any help,
-Tad
