What if multiple applications depend on these values? Then they really should be defined centrally.
But I don't see any direct support even to store a simple string property on the jndi tree with glassfish. Is the only way to do it using a javax.naming.spi.ObjectFactory?? I would believe that one shouldn't need to create a dummy ObjectFactory that simply returns a hardcoded string (this way it would also be more difficult to change the actual value).
(The setup needed for using a custom ObjectFactory is explained here:

Isn't this quite an overkill?? Anything simpler?
