Java Servlets - Storing a list of values in web.xml (multiple param-value's for single param-name)

I'm creating a servlet that needs to load configuration information. Part of the configuration information I need is a list of Strings (specifically, a list of hostnames and/or URLs). I was hoping to store this information in my servlet's web.xml file (so I don't have to write my own parser) as either a context-param or init-param; essentially multiple param-value's for a single param-name. Example of what I would like: ``` <context-param> <param-name>validHosts</param-name> <param-value>example1.com</param-value> <param-value>example2.com</param-value> <param-value>example3.com</param-value> </context-param> ``` My initial research seems to indicate this is not possible--that there can only be a single param-value for any param-name (within either context-param or init-param). I know I could just use a delimited list within a single param-value, but is that really my only option if I still want to use web.xml? Should I just stop whining and write my own config file parser?
