You could try like a previous post in this list discussed
and use a properties file for your parameters instead.  Look
at the archive for more info if needed.  Basically,

<init-param>
    <param-name>p1</param-name>
    <param-value>filename.properties</param-value>
</init-param>

And then parse your properties file.
