Comment (by iwakeh):

 You're right web.xml is an odd place for setting the out dir path.

 In #13600 I mentioned commons-configuration (but there too a config file
 would be better than command line, I think). User docs are here
 [https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-
 configuration/userguide_v1.10/user_guide.html Commons Configuration User
 Guide]

 Without an additional lib reference, why not use a plain old java
 properties file?
 Have useful defaults for everything and write the properties file, if the
 app could not
 find one initially?

 This ought to be a new issue.
