local host development -> production server issues

Hey gang,

I've got a local host Tomcat server set up for my website. I've also got a production server. They both use different directory paths. I have to know these paths in order for a particular custom image bean to work.

What is the best way to let my beans know server specific data? Should I create an .INI file and read it every time I load my bean? That seems like overkill, but I'm drawing a blank here.

Thanks!
