配置文件如下：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312"?>
<site-app>
<jdbc>
  <jdbc-type>oracle</jdbc-type>
  <database-version>817</database-version>
  <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
  <jdbc-version>2.0</jdbc-version>
  <jdbc-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localserver:1521:cnxsl</jdbc-url>
  <database-name>cnxsl</database-name>
  <database-user>cnxs</database-user>
  <database-password>cnxs</database-password>
</jdbc>
</site-app>

可以随便在里面加任何值，如
<user>username</user>
这样不必修改这个ConfigXML.java文件，在你需要这个值时只需用这样一句来取就OK了：
System.getProperty("user");
是不是很简单？
注：我是用的sun的JAXP的标准库，也可很方便地改成ibm xml4j来处理。
