Is there a way of using System.getProperty() or System.setProperty() in a webapp in an encapsulated way (i.e. so that the global properties of one webapp don't interfere with those in another?).
Alternatively is there something within the J2EE architecture which would provide me with this functionality?
I guess we need more details regarding the source of the data you are trying to interact with.
Generally I'd say that the type of thing you are looking for are application-scoped variables set into application scope at startup time, most probably by a context listener.
