Externalizing Configuration

The http proxy configuration is loaded from the classpath. Is a good idea, at installations, outsource the configuration so that a redeploy of the application will not overwrite your changes.

In web.xml, or as system property, you can put a key that indicates an alternate location of the configuration file.

We can also try to put spring in the mix to help with this.
