it idea store these kind of values in .properties file. can accessed via java.util.properties (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/properties.html)

here tutorial describing how access these files , values, suggest start this: http://www.mkyong.com/java/java-properties-file-examples/

(more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties)

in ide, create new source package /src/main/config , put configuration-concerning .properties , .xml files in there. if way, need access within jsf application:

string configfilepath = "configuration.properties";  props = new properties();  inputstream propinstream = thread.currentthread().getcontextclassloader().getresourceasstream(configfilepath);  props.load(propinstream); 

or can this: how properties file /web-inf folder in jsf?
