Tomcat has a very limited set of cases where ${...} will do
replacements for system properties. I think it's definitely worth
filing an enhancement request for this kind of thing: it's a *very*
useful feature to have.

I would do a search-and-replace as part of the deployment process. Is
this something that does into META-INF/context.xml (at the webapp
level) or into conf/context.xml (at the server level)?
If at the webapp level, you'd have to re-roll a WAR file for each
server you want to target. That's not necessarily a big deal: you can
script it with ant or even bash if you want (unzip, replace, update-zip).
I guess the same thing could be done at the server level, though it
would only have to be done once each time you install (or upgrade) Tomcat.
